Description:

The productivity of many fishery species in the northern Gulf of Mexico (GoM) depends upon habitats and environmental conditions present in coastal estuaries used as nuersery grounds. But all estuaries are not equal in this regard, and there is evidence that the abundance of juvenile fishery species varies substantially among estuarine systems. This report is the second in a series designed to provide a Comparative Assessment of Gulf Estuarine Systems (CAGES). In an earlier project, Brown et al. (2013) described abundance and biomass patterns of nekton commonly collected in trawls from 24 estuaries in the northern GoM. Our objective in that report was to begin describing data that reflect the relative fishery productivity of these estuaries. In this project, we report on habitats present in these same estuaries based mainly on analyses using remotely sensed data. Our main objective was to assess variability in overall estuarine area within watersheds, the amount of different fishery habitats in each estuary, and some habitat characteristics that may be important in supporting fishery species.
