Project: Halibut Movement
Owner  : Philip N. Hooge
Created: 6/1/91 2:19:41 PM
Summary:  
     Represented here are results of studies on the movement 
     patterns of sonically tracked Pacific halibut.  These 
     studies were begun as part of an effort to quantify the 
     ecosystem level effects of the commercial harvest of 
     halibut as part of a 10 year study to evaluate the 
     commercial harvest of halibut in Glacier Bay National Park. 
     The studies represented here were initiated to understand  
     home range and movement patterns, territoriality, site 
     fidelity and inter-year site fidelity in Pacific Halibut.  
     Sonic tags were implanted into the body cavities of Pacific 
     halibut. Two tracking methodologies were used; First, 
     search tracking with 18 month sonic-tags on a daily or 
     weekly basis was used to elucidate the movement patterns of 
     specific categories of individuals in detail. Second, a 
     grid search of the entire lower bay was conducted with  3 
     year tags on a bimonthly basis to elucidate long term 
     patterns of site fidelity and to understand the movement 
     patterns of individuals who moved over wide areas.

  Citation Information:
     Title(1.1): 
       Sonic tagged Pacific Halibut Locations
     Abstract(1.2.1): 
       This database contains locational data on sonic tagged 
       Pacific halibut.  It contains evidence for a high degree of 
       site fidelity, existence of a home range, territoriality 
       (i.e. exclusivity of home ranges), inter-year site fidelity 
       and ontogenetic changes in movement patterns.  The data was 
       collected by internal implantation of 35 khz sonic tags 
       into the body cavity between the gonads and stomach.  Data 
       was collected using surface mounted hydrophones and diver 
       hydrophones with locational fixes done by GPS.
     Purpose(1.2.2): 
       These data were collected as part of an effort to quantify 
       the ecosystem level effects of the commercial harvest of 
       halibut as part of a 10 year study to evaluate the 
       commercial harvest of halibut in Glacier Bay National Park. 
       Knowledge of the home range size and shape as well as the 
       degree of site fidelity was lacking for halibut and was 
       determined to be necessary to evaluate what effects the 
       commercial harvest has on Glacier Bay.

Lineage


  Process Step:
     Process Description(2.5.2.1): 
       The degree of horizontal positional accuracy varies with 
       the depth of the fish and the presence of a strong 
       thermocline.   At 100 feet empirical tests determined an  
       error of about 25 meters in hydrophone fixes.  There is an 
       average error of about 20 meters in the GPS fixes. However 
       some fixes may be off more than 100 meters.  In 1995 the 
       use of Y-encrypted code GPS was begun.  The error of this 
       GPS was < 15 meters 90% of the time with an average error 
       of 5 meters.  Some critical positions were averaged and 
       this is mentioned in the comments resulting in better than 
       5 meters  accuracy.

  Citation Information:
     Title(1.1): 
       A database of pacific halibut sonic tagged
     Abstract(1.2.1): 
       This database contains locational data on the capture and 
       sonic tagging of Pacific halibut at Glacier Bay National 
       Park.  It contains information on the capture, 
       morphological information, sonic tag characteristics and 
       location of release.
     Purpose(1.2.2): 
       These data were collected as part of an effort to quantify 
       the ecosystem level effects of the commercial harvest of 
       halibut as part of a 10 year study to evaluate the 
       commercial harvest of halibut in Glacier Bay National Park. 
       Knowledge of the home range size and movement patterns 
       including site fidelity was lacking for halibut and was 
       determined to be necessary to evaluate what effects the 
       commercial harvest has on Glacier Bay.

     Access Constraints(1.7): 
       Some Glacier Bay Ecosystem Project data sets may contain 
       data with access constraints.  Such areas include sensitive 
       information on the locations of endangered species or 
       cultural artifacts and data which contain private or 
       confidential information. Data sets which are not complete 
       may have access constraints until completion. Please 
       contact the Information Management Systems Administrator at 
       the Glacier Bay Field Station for details on any access 
       constraints.
     Use Constraints(1.8): 
       Some Glacier Bay Ecosystem Project data sets may contain 
       data with use constraints.  Such areas include sensitive 
       information on the locations of endangered species or 
       cultural artifacts and data which contain private or 
       confidential information. In addition some data sets are 
       collaborative efforts with outside researchers and 
       represent unpublished work for which we request respect for 
       intellectual property rights.  Some data sets are not 
       complete and if access is given the use may be restricted 
       until completion. Please contact the Information Management 
       Systems Administrator at the Glacier Bay Field Station for 
       details on any use constraints.


Data Quality Information


  Attribute Accuracy:
     Attribute Accuracy Report(2.1.1): 
       There is an average error of about 20 meters in the GPS 
       fixes. However some fixes may be off more than 100 meters.  
       In 1995 the use of Y-encrypted code GPS was begun.  The 
       error of this GPS was < 15 meters 90% of the time with an 
       average error of 5 meters.  Some critical positions were 
       averaged and this is mentioned in the comments resulting in 
       better than 5 meters  accuracy.
     Completeness Report(2.3): 
       Not complete.  1995 data is not entered 


Lineage


  Process Step:
     Process Description(2.5.2.1): 
       Capture locations were determined before 1994 by the use of 
       GPS fixes at the point the fish was taken from the water on 
       long-lines.  From 1994 the position of the hook at the 
       setting of the long-line was determined by recording with 
       GPS the time and track line (with multiple fixes) of the 
       set and then calculating the position of each numbered 
       hook. This results in capture fixes being of much greater 
       accuracy.
Release locations were determined with the use 
       of GPS fixes at the release site.

  Citation Information:
     Title(1.1): 
       The locations of the sonic tracking grid search stations
     Abstract(1.2.1): 
       A data file which contains the locations and depths of the 
       stations used to check for the presence of halibut.  Each 
       station is spaced no more than 2 kilometers from another 
       station in such a pattern as to allow complete coverage of 
       the lower bay by circular searches (by turning) from each 
       station with a maximum detectable distance of 1 kilometer. 
       One kilometer has been determined to assure close to 100% 
       delectability with the current hydrophones and sonic tags 
       in depths up to 400 meters.
     Purpose(1.2.2): 
       These data were collected as part of an effort to quantify 
       the ecosystem level effects of the commercial harvest of 
       halibut as part of a 10 year study to evaluate the 
       commercial harvest of halibut in Glacier Bay National Park. 
       Knowledge of the home range size and shape as well as the 
       degree of site fidelity was lacking for halibut and was 
       determined to be necessary to evaluate what effects the 
       commercial harvest has on Glacier Bay.

     Access Constraints(1.7): 
       Some Glacier Bay Ecosystem Project data sets may contain 
       data with access constraints.  Such areas include sensitive 
       information on the locations of endangered species or 
       cultural artifacts and data which contain private or 
       confidential information. Data sets which are not complete 
       may have access constraints until completion. Please 
       contact the Information Management Systems Administrator at 
       the Glacier Bay Field Station for details on any access 
       constraints.
     Use Constraints(1.8): 
       Some Glacier Bay Ecosystem Project data sets may contain 
       data with use constraints.  Such areas include sensitive 
       information on the locations of endangered species or 
       cultural artifacts and data which contain private or 
       confidential information. In addition some data sets are 
       collaborative efforts with outside researchers and 
       represent unpublished work for which we request respect for 
       intellectual property rights.  Some data sets are not 
       complete and if access is given the use may be restricted 
       until completion. Please contact the Information Management 
       Systems Administrator at the Glacier Bay Field Station for 
       details on any use constraints.
