NOAA Point Shapefile - 100m2 Fish Density of El Seco, Puerto Rico, Project NF-09-01-USVI, 2009, WGS84

This data contains densities of fishes detected using mobile fisheries sonar on board the NOAA Ship Nancy Foster. The data were acquired in concert with a multibeam bathymetry survey of EL SECO, off the coast of Vieques Island, Puerto Rico in 2009. Fish densities are presented by size classes, corresponding to individual lengths inferred from the intensity of acoustic target return, in units of fish per 100 square meters.
