Large shark catches (Drumline), water temperatures, salinities, and dissolved oxygen levels, and stable isotope values in the Shark River Slough, Everglades National Park (FCE) from May 2009 to May 2011

This dataset provides information on the catches of large sharks in the Shark River Slough in relation to physical factors including dissolved oxygen, water temperature, salinity, and distance upstream. Analysis of data collected suggest that distance from the Gulf of Mexico and salinity have the largest effects on shark catch rates, with most large sharks being caught at the mouth of the estuary in high salinity waters. This dataset includes all sharks caught on drumline gear, including large coastal species such as bull sharks and lemon sharks, as well as smaller coastal species such as Atlantic sharpnose sharks and blacknose sharks.

本数据集提供了鲨鱼河沼泽（Shark River Slough）内大型鲨鱼捕获量与溶解氧、水温、盐度及上游距离等物理因素的关联信息。数据分析表明，距墨西哥湾的距离与盐度对鲨鱼捕获率的影响最为显著，多数大型鲨鱼捕获于河口的高盐度水域。本数据集涵盖了所有使用鼓线钓（drumline）渔具捕获的鲨鱼，其中包含牛鲨、柠檬鲨等大型近岸鲨类，以及大西洋尖吻鲨、黑吻鲨等小型近岸鲨类。
