FBSAB Recruit Fish Habitat Use Surveys at Hawaii Island (Big Island), Main Hawaiian Islands, 2009 (NODC Accession 0073870)

Published by Fishery Biology and Stock Assessment Division (FBSAD), Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2011-06-10T00:00:00.000+00:00
Recruit-habitat relations (habitat use by recruits) were surveyed at 1 to ~5 m depths based on all "Encounters" of singletons and "groups" (where a group comprised > 1 recruit associating with one another and within 10-cm distance of one another), along transects conducted at a total two (2) sites on the leeward coast (South Kohala district) of the Big Island (Hawaii Island, in the MHI) during spring 2009. The substrate type ("SUBSTRTYP") closest to recruits encountered within transect swaths were recorded as one or more of fourteen (14) main taxonomic and functional habitat types. Because of personnel limitations, habitat availability was not characterized in 2009. Quadrat methods were NOT used in 2009; hence, the "rugosity" ("RUG_L1_M", "RUG_L2_M"), "HABTYP", and "HABCOVR_UPER36" variables were NOT measured or recorded in 2009.
