Fish Trawls

Staff from Nature Coast Aquatic Preserve (NCAP) joined UF to conduct fish trawls off Anclote Key to sample fish population in the SCARMAPS quadrats. In addition to fish populations, data was gathered on water quality conditions, large predators in the quads and prop scar conditions. The 6-meter trawl was towed behind the boat in 2-minute segments, and all fish were counted and measured for the project.
