MD iMAP: Maryland Finfish - Spot Weakfish Croaker Juvenile Habitat

This is a MD iMAP hosted service. Find more information at http://imap.maryland.gov. These datasets exist in raster and vector formats. The vector format was created from the SHA Shoreline file and graphic representations in the Lippson book (See bibliography below). These areas were then confirmed with the White book (See bibliography below) and the Habitat Requirements for Chesapeake Bay Living Resources"". While not a fishery in Maryland - they are a prey species for larger fisheries in the Chesapeake. These data sets were then converted to raster format and reclassified with a rank determined by DNR biologists. This rank determines level of habitat importance with spawning areas ranking highest and adult areas of bay depth below 3 feet ranking the lowest. These ranked rasters were then stacked and an output raster was created showing areas of high habitat diversity. These rasters were then clipped by county.

本数据集由马里兰州地图集成服务（MD iMAP）托管。详细信息请查阅 http://imap.maryland.gov。这些数据集以栅格和矢量格式存在。矢量格式由 SHA 海岸线文件以及 Lippson 书籍中的图形表示（参见下文参考文献）创建。随后，这些区域经 White 书籍（参见下文参考文献）和切萨皮克湾生物资源栖息地需求确认。尽管这些区域在马里兰州并非渔业区域，但它们是切萨皮克湾较大渔业的猎物。随后，这些数据集被转换为栅格格式，并按照马里兰州自然资源部生物学家确定的等级进行重新分类。此等级决定了栖息地的重要性水平，其中产卵区等级最高，而低于3英尺深度的海湾成年区域等级最低。这些分级栅格随后被叠加，并生成一个输出栅格，显示高栖息地多样性区域。这些栅格随后按县进行裁剪。Lippson - Alice Jane. 《马里兰州切萨皮克湾：自然资源图集》. 约翰霍普金斯大学出版社，巴尔的摩和伦敦 - 1973.
