• Description:
  In 2016, the decision was made to conclude the long-term sampling effort. It was determined that the monthly sampling data (from 1991-2016) was of significant value and robustness for comparison to other sampling locations. This effort has grown from the findings of Leight et al. (2005); where monthly grass shrimp population data for NIOL and CTL from 1991-2000 were included in their study. The present study provides an analysis of the data from 2001 until the end of the longterm collection in 2016. The analyses presented here document grass shrimp population metrics (densities, sizes, reproduction, and parasitism) and relationships with water quality parameters for grass shrimp over the 15-year time period.
