Florida Keys Reef Visual Census 1999

In 1998, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission?s (FWC) Fisheries Independent Monitoring (FIM) program began a long-term monitoring effort of key reef fish populations in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. This effort was aimed at evaluating the relative abundance, size structure, and habitat utilization of specific reef fish species that are targeted by commercial and recreational fisheries.

1998年，佛罗里达鱼类与野生动物保护委员会（Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, FWC）旗下的渔业独立监测（Fisheries Independent Monitoring, FIM）项目，在佛罗里达礁岛群国家海洋保护区启动了针对关键礁鱼类种群的长期监测工作。该监测工作旨在评估受商业与休闲渔业捕捞的特定礁鱼类物种的相对丰度、体型结构及栖息地利用情况。
