NOAA Point Shapefile - 100m2 Fish Density of St. Johns Shelf, United States Virgin Islands, Project NF-10-03-USVI, 2010, 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 St. John Shelf, off the coast of United States Virgin Islands in 2010. 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.
