Radial survey data of queen conch population counts, shell length, and lip thickness measurements in Buck Island and Salt River Bay, St. Croix, USVI, from 2014-08-25 to 2018-08-10 (NCEI Accession 0253469)
This dataset contains shell lengths and lip thicknesses of queen conch individuals located and measured while conducting radial surveys of the conch populations on the northern shelf of St. Croix. The date, location, water depth, and general benthic habitat description were measured and described at each radial survey site (see InPort record number 30680 for specific project metadata).
