Data from: Assessing reproductive behavior important to fisheries management: a case study with red drum, Sciaenops ocellatus

mastertelemforpaperMastertelemforpaper: data set includes all data used in the telemetry-based analyses a. TL=total length at implantation; Surg_min=surgery time in minutes; age =is the age in years assigned based on fin rays for subadult red drum collected in the estuary; fishtype is a categorical variable to distinguish between subadults captured in the estuary (1) and adults captured in coastal waters; system is a categorical variable to assign if fish were detected in Tampa Bay estuary (100), Tampa Bay coastal (1), or Charlotte Harbor coastal (2); num_dates is the number of dates a fish was detected; FishID assigned consecutive numbers to make it easier to follow individual fish; period is a categorical variable to assign the 2012 reproductive period (1); 2013 non-reproductive period (2) and 2013 reproductive period.adultreprov2Adultreprov2: Data set includes data from the 2007-2008 study (study 1) and fish collected by purse seine and sampled non-lethally in 2012 (study 2). a. Sex is set up as a character variable (F=female) and numeric (sexx, 2=female); tl=total length; small is a size category (<850 mm TL=small); reproductive phases are based on Brown-Peterson et al. (2011). GSI=gonadosomatic index. Mature categorizes immature (1) and mature fish (2).Aerial surveys 2012 2013Aerial surveys 2012 2013: Data set includes the date, location, and method for identifying red drum spawning aggregations.subadultsSubadults: data set includes biological data for subadults sampled in the estuary. c. Parameters are the same as in the Adultreprov2 with the exception of total_weight which is measured in grams. Age is in years and based on fin rays.
