Data related to: The recurring role of storm disturbance on black sea bass (Centropristis striata) movement behaviors in the Mid-Atlantic Bight

Summer storm events are a significant source of disturbance in the Middle Atlantic Bight (MAB) that cause rapid destratification of the water column.  Storm-driven mixing can be considered as a summertime disturbance regime to demersal communities, characterized by the recurrence of large changes in bottom water temperatures.  Black sea bass are a model ubiquitous demersal species in the MAB, as their sedentary behavior exposes them to summer storm disturbances and the physiological stresses associated with thermal destratification.  To better understand the responsiveness of black sea bass to storm impacts, we coupled biotelemetry with a high resolution Finite Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM).  During the summers of 2016-2018, 8-15 black sea bass were released with acoustic transponders at each of three reef sites, which were surrounded by data-logging receivers.  Data were analyzed for activity levels, reef departures, and fluctuations in temperature, current velocity, and turbule...

夏季风暴事件是大西洋中部海湾（Middle Atlantic Bight, MAB）内的重要扰动来源，可快速引发水体层化消解。风暴驱动的混合作用可被视为作用于底栖生物群落的夏季扰动模式，其典型特征为底层水温频繁出现大幅波动。黑海鲈是大西洋中部海湾内广泛分布的典型底栖物种，因其栖息习性较为固定，易暴露于夏季风暴扰动及与水温层化消解相关的生理胁迫之中。为更深入理解黑海鲈对风暴影响的响应机制，本研究将生物遥测技术与高分辨率有限体积社区海洋模型（Finite Volume Community Ocean Model, FVCOM）相结合。2016至2018年夏季，研究团队在三处礁区站点各放归8至15条搭载声学应答器的黑海鲈，各站点周围均部署了数据记录式接收器。研究对活动水平、礁区离开行为，以及水温、流速和湍流的波动情况进行了数据分析
