Hydrology Data (pink shrimp)

A Tortugas/Florida Bay pink shrimp simulation model has been identified as a priority need in CERP by the South Florida Water Management District, NOAA, NPS and USGS. This model has been under development through the collaboration of a team of National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), USGS and University of Miami (UM) researchers since 1997. The purpose of the model is to assist in designing and refining restoration alternatives by predicting their impact on production of pink shrimp in Florida Bay and on shrimp recruitment from Florida Bay to the Tortugas fishery.

The data collected from six sites include salinity, temperature, and water level for all stations. In addition discharge and tidal discharge were collected for four of the sites. Data were collected from 2001 to 2004.

南佛罗里达水管理区（South Florida Water Management District）、美国国家海洋和大气管理局（National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA）、美国国家公园管理局（National Park Service, NPS）与美国地质调查局（United States Geological Survey, USGS）已将托图加斯/佛罗里达湾粉红虾模拟模型认定为佛罗里达大沼泽地综合修复计划（Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan, CERP）中的优先研究需求。该模型自1997年起由美国国家海洋渔业局（National Marine Fisheries Service, NMFS）、美国地质调查局（USGS）与迈阿密大学（University of Miami, UM）的联合研究团队合作开发。本模型的研发目标为，通过预测各类修复备选方案对佛罗里达湾粉红虾产量的影响，以及粉红虾从佛罗里达湾向托图加斯渔场的种群补充过程的影响，辅助开展修复方案的设计与优化工作。本次采集自6个监测点位的数据涵盖所有站点的盐度、水温与水位信息；此外，研究人员还为其中4个点位采集了径流量与潮汐径流量数据，所有数据的采集周期为2001年至2004年。
