Status and Trends 2007 Report - Florida’s Inshore and Nearshore
Species
Florida’s Inshore and Nearshore Species: 2007 Status and Trends Report—The Short
Report.
THE SHORT REPORT 2007
The short report contains the 2007 Status and Trends Report for six of Florida’s Inshore and
Nearshore Species. The report's contents include an executive summary, introduction,
methods and materials, trend analysis for species, individual species accounts for finfish
and shellfish, literature cited.
The reports are listed by species and may be downloaded as PDF files.
The individual Species Accounts for FINFISH include the following species: red drum,
spotted seatrout, snook. Click here to download individual species reports.
The individual Species Accounts for SHELLFISH include the following species: blue crab,
stone crab, lobster. Click here to download individual species reports.
SPECIES ACCOUNTS
The purpose of the species accounts is to provide interested readers with summaries of the
biology and fisheries for particular species. In this short report, six managed species or
groups were included in this section. A long report is compiled every other year and it
includes accounts for 48 managed species/species groups. The species accounts provide
available: 1) life history information such as distribution, growth, reproduction, and food
habits; 2) the geographic distribution of statewide landings in 2006 and the annual landings
by coasts and by the commercial and recreational sectors during 1982–2006; 3) trends in
commercial landings rates (1992–2006), recreational total-catch rates (1991–2006), and
fishery-independent monitoring catch rates (1996 or 1997 to 2006); 4) trends in observed
disease and developmental abnormalities; and 5) results of recent stock assessments. In
some cases when the fishery-independent monitoring data are sparse, there are no graphs
of these data in the species accounts but the data are listed in Appendix A.
The numbers of observations from the commercial or recreational fisheries and from the
fishery-independent monitoring program listed in the Appendix will occasionally differ from
those numbers found on the catch-rate graphs shown in the species accounts. The number
of observations listed in the Appendix is the number of observations in the data for that
specific species or group. The number of observations on the catch rate graphs can be: 1)
lower if there are missing variable values associated with some of the catch data used in the
standardization analysis or 2) higher if the data used in the standardization include more
than just the records for a species. The latter occurs for the recreational analyses when the
assumed targeted species is at an aggregate level, e.g. drums, trout, or jacks.
The following provides the legend for the figures showing the geographic distribution of
landings in 2006 for the commercial fisheries by county (in pounds) and the recreational
fishery by sub region (in numbers). There were five recreational sub regions used: the
Northwest, Escambia through Dixie Counties; the Southwest, Levy through Collier Counties;
the Keys, Monroe County; Southeast, Dade through St. Lucie Counties; and Northeast, Indian
River through Nassau Counties.
