USGS South Florida Fish and Invertebrate Assessment Network Crustaceans

The South Florida Fish and Invertebrate Assessment Network (FIAN) is a monitoring project within the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP). It is an element of the Southern Estuaries module of the Monitoring and Assessment Plan (MAP). The FIAN is designed to support the four broad objectives of MAP: (1) to establish a pre-CERP reference state, including variability, for each of the performance measures; (2) to determine the status and trends in the performance measures; (3) to detect unexpected responses of the ecosystem to changes in stressors resulting from CERP activities; and (4) to support scientific investigations designed to increase ecosystem understanding, cause-and-effect, and interpretation of unanticipated results. FIAN is a regional scale monitoring program of seagrass-associated fish and invertebrate (penaeid and caridean shrimp and crabs) communities present in shallow waters of South Florida; the pink shrimp, Farfantepenaeus duorarum, as a restoration indicator, is a species of special interest. FIAN provides input to the pink shrimp performance measure. The pink shrimp emerged as an ecosystem attribute to be monitored from the Florida and Biscayne Bay conceptual ecological models. A 1-m2 throw-trap is the basic gear used to sample fauna in FIAN. Associated with each throw-trap animal sample are measurements of seagrass/algae habitat, water depth, sediment depth and surface temperature, salinity and turbidity. Twice annually, a randomly located throw-trap sample is collected in each cell of a 30-cell grid at each of the 19 monitoring locations at the end of the dry season (April/May) and the wet season (September/October). This dataset describes the quantification of the invertebrate data (Crustaceans).南佛罗里达鱼类与无脊椎动物评估网络（South Florida Fish and Invertebrate Assessment Network, 简称FIAN）是《综合大沼泽地修复计划》（Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan, 简称CERP）下设的监测项目，同时隶属于监测与评估计划（Monitoring and Assessment Plan, 简称MAP）的南部河口模块。 FIAN的设立旨在支撑MAP的四项核心目标：（1）为各项绩效指标建立CERP实施前的参考状态（包含自然波动范围）；（2）明确各项绩效指标的现状与变化趋势；（3）识别生态系统对CERP活动引发的压力因子变化所产生的非预期响应；（4）支撑旨在深化生态系统认知、厘清因果关系及解释非预期结果的科学研究。 FIAN是一项针对南佛罗里达浅水区海草伴生鱼类与无脊椎动物（对虾科、鼓虾科虾类及蟹类）群落的区域性监测计划；其中作为修复指示物种的粉红虾（Farfantepenaeus duorarum）是重点关注物种。FIAN为粉红虾绩效指标提供数据支撑，粉红虾是从佛罗里达与比斯坎湾概念生态模型中筛选出的需监测的生态系统属性。 FIAN采用1平方米抛网作为采集动物群落的标准采样装备。每一份抛网采集的动物样本均配套记录海草/藻类生境、水深、沉积物厚度、表层水温、盐度与浊度等环境参数。每年分别于旱季末期（4月/5月）与雨季末期（9月/10月），在19个监测点位的30格网格的每个单元内，随机采集1份抛网样本。 本数据集针对无脊椎动物（甲壳动物类）的量化数据进行说明。
