        abstract:  Fishery-independent trawl data from Southeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program (SEAMAP) Summer and Fall Groundfish Surveys (1987 to 2018) are used to map the distribution, and abundance of fish, invertebrate, and shark species. Catch from individual trawls is standardized to account for sampling effort and expressed as the number per 1 hour tow. Individual catches are then summarized by 10 minute longitude by latitude blocks in which trawling occurred. Mean catch (CATCH) by 10 minute longitude by latitude areas is represented as a GIS map layer. The layer attributes include the central longitude (LON10) and latitude (LAT10); a polygon identifier (GRID10ID); the species represented (TAXON), the number of samples (N), the mean catch (CATCH), the standard error of the mean (CATCH_SE) and the minimum catch (CATCH_MIN) and maximum catch (CATCH_MAX) for each 10 minute longitude by latitude polygon in which at least one trawl was taken. Individual map layers were generated for the following species: brown shrimp (Farfantepenaeus aztecus), pink shrimp (Farfantepenaeus duorarum), white shrimp (Litopenaeus setiferus), Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus), gag grouper (Mycteroperca microlepis), gray triggerfish (Balistes capriscus), gulf butterfish (Peprilus burti), king mackerel (Scomberomorus cavalla), lane snapper (Lutjanus synagris), red grouper (Lutjanus campechanus), red snapper (Epinephelus morio), sand seatrout (Cynoscion arenarius), silver seatrout (Cynoscion nothus), Spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus maculatus), spot (Leiostomus xanthurus), vermillion snapper (Rhomboplites aurorubens), yellowedge grouper (Hyporthodus flavolimbatus), Atlantic sharpnose (Rhizoprionodon terraenovae), blacknose shark (Carcharhinus acronotus), blacktip shark (Carcharhinus limbatus)
        purpose:  To provide information about the distribution and abundance of fish and invertebrate species found during SEAMAP Summer and Fall Groundfish Surveys fisheries-independent surveys from 1987 to 2018.

                description:  Trawl operation, effort and catch information for each species from individual Southeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program (SEAMAP) Summer and Fall Groundfish Surveys (trawls)from 1987 to 2018 were extracted from the Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission (GSMFC) SEAMAP Information System. Catch data at each station was standardized to account for sampling effort and expressed as the number per 1 hour tow. Individual catches were then summarized by 10 minute longitude by latitude grid cells representing the areas in which the trawls were conducted. Mean catch (CATCH) by 10 minute longitude by latitude grid was exported as a polygon layer. The layer attributes include the central longitude (LON10) and latitude (LAT10); a polygon identifier (GRID10ID); the species represented (TAXON), the number of samples (N), the mean catch (CATCH), the standard error of the mean (CATCH_SE) and the minimum catch (CATCH_MIN) and maximum catch (CATCH_MAX) for each 10 minute longitude by latitude polygon in which at least one trawl was taken.
                rationale:  To visualize the distribution and abundance of fish and invertebrate species found during multiple years of the SEAMAP fisheries independent surveys described here.

                description:  The Southeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program (SEAMAP) is a State/Federal/university program for collection, management and dissemination of fishery-independent data and information in the southeastern United States. Resource surveys began in the Gulf of Mexico in 1982. These surveys, which collect a variety of biological and environmental information, currently include Summer and Fall Groundfish Surveys; Winter, Spring, and Fall Plankton Surveys; a Reef Fish Survey; a Vertical Longline Survey; and an Inshore Bottom Longline Survey.
