Spatial Sampling Coverage of Zooplankton Monitoring Surveys
Summary
This article provides a visual representation of the spatial sampling coverage of zooplankton monitoring surveys conducted as part of various programs and projects. The surveys mentioned in the article include the Environmental Monitoring Program (EMP), 20mm Survey, Summer Townet (STN)Fall Mid-water Trawl (FMWT), and the Fish Restoration Project (FRP). Figure 1 illustrates the extent of the sampling coverage for each of these surveys.
Figure 1: Spatial Sampling Coverage
Figure 1 in the article provides a visual representation of the spatial sampling coverage of the mentioned zooplankton monitoring surveys. The figure shows the extent of the coverage for each survey, highlighting the areas where the surveys have been conducted. The coverage is depicted using different colors and patterns, making it easy to distinguish between the different surveys.
Environmental Monitoring Program (EMP)
The Environmental Monitoring Program (EMP) focuses on monitoring the environmental conditions and changes in the ecosystem. The EMP survey covers a significant area, as shown in Figure 1. The survey aims to gather data on zooplankton populations and their distribution, providing valuable information for understanding the health of the ecosystem.
20mm Survey
The 20mm Survey specifically targets zooplankton populations using a 20mm mesh net. The survey coverage, as depicted in Figure 1, shows that it covers a different area compared to the EMP survey. The 20mm Survey provides important data on the abundance and diversity of zooplankton species, contributing to the overall understanding of the ecosystem.
Summer Townet (STN)Fall Mid-water Trawl (FMWT)
The Summer Townet (STN)Fall Mid-water Trawl (FMWT) survey focuses on sampling zooplankton populations during the summer and fall seasons. The coverage of this survey, as shown in Figure 1, indicates that it covers a specific area different from the other surveys. The STN and FMWT surveys provide valuable data on the seasonal variations in zooplankton populations, helping researchers understand the dynamics of the ecosystem throughout the year.
Fish Restoration Project (FRP)
The Fish Restoration Project (FRP) aims to restore fish populations and their habitats in specific areas. The zooplankton monitoring survey conducted as part of the FRP is depicted in Figure 1, showing the coverage of the survey area. The data collected from this survey helps assess the impact of the restoration efforts on zooplankton populations and their role in supporting fish populations.
