Description

Summary of population surveys of inland silversides (Menidia beryllina) collected by beach seine at sites in Suisun Bay, CA

Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Fish survey data were collected by beach seine in the Suisun Bay region of the San Francisco Bay-Delta by Susanne Brander and Bryan Cole. Sampling methodology is fully described in Brander et al. (2013).

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO Data Processing Notes:

-combined the peak GSI summary tables from Bryan Cole and Susanne Brander.
-two columns were added to distinguish between the data in the combined tables: investigator, and paper.
-reformatted column names to comply with BCO-DMO standards

Purse-seine Fishing Gear

Supplied Name: Beach seine

Supplied Description:

Used to collect samples

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Purse-seine Fishing Gear

Acronym: Purse-seine

Generic Description:

A purse seine is a large wall of netting deployed in a circle around an entire school of fish. The seine has floats along the top line with a lead line of chain along the bottom. Once a school of fish is located, a skiff pulls the seine into the water as the vessel encircles the school with the net. A cable running along the bottom is then pulled in, "pursing" the net closed on the bottom, preventing fish from escaping by swimming downward. The catch is harvested by bringing the net alongside the vessel and brailing the fish aboard.
