Twenty sampling stations were established--eight to document larval entry into Florida Bay and adjacent estuarine waters, and 12 within Florida Bay and adjacent estuarine waters, to provide insight into larval fish distribution and movement. Spotted seatrout was the only target species whose larvae were regularly collected; gray snapper snook, and red drum apparently spawn outside of the park. Other findings include an abundance of gobiid larvae throughout the study sites. Maps of the study sites showing larvae distribution are included.

Three hundred twenty-five fish ranged in length from 284-940 mm FL and in weight from 0.7 - 11.6 kg. Mean lengths of fish were largest in spring and smallest in winter. There were no differences in mean length among areas of capture. Annulus formation occurred in spring (March-May). Ages of fish were mainly 4-5 year-olds. Recruitment to the fishery began at age 2 and was completed at age 6., The overall sex ratio favored males 3/1 and there were no differences in mean age of fish among areas of capture. Mean calculated growth of all snook was 375 mm FL in the first year and 57-90 mm thereafter. Calculated fish lengths at age differed among areas of capture and sexual differences in length-weight relationship were noted. Annual mortality rate of all fully recruited fish was 78%. Sexual differences in mortality rates were discussed.

The authors compared data collected biweekly during a 22 month period (December 1977- September 1979) among rain gauge networks containing 87, 29, 11 and 3 gauges. These results were also compared with data collected daily at three long-term NOAA stations located on the periphery of the study area. A comparison between managed surface water inflows and uncontrolled precipitation contributions to the slough during this time was also made. Data from the three long-term NOAA stations were further used to compute a reconstruction of direct rainfall inputs into the slough on a monthly and yearly basis for the period 1952 to 1979.

Show moreMore than 90% of Everglades National Park is either permanently or seasonally inundated by water. The Shark River Slough, the largest freshwater flow system in the park, is the southernmost remnant of a much larger freshwater drainage system. Extensive man-made alterations to the naturalflow pattern for the purposes of flood control, land reclamation and water storage have greatly altered the hydrological regime north of the Everglades National Park. It was not until 1972 that the systematic analysis of the most important nutrient parameters, including total ammonia, total nitrite, total organic nitrogen, total orthophosphorus, total phosphorus, total inorganic carbon, total organic carbon and total carbon of the Shark River Slough was begun. It is the purpose of this paper to utilize this database in order to assess surface water nutrient conditions in the Shark River Slough from 1972-1980.

An intensive water resources program for water management is mandatory if the quality of the Everglades is to be preserved. The initial thrust for such a program depends on a complete understanding of the hydrologic balance in the park. Throughout the years both the National Park Service and the U.S. Geological Survey have documented hydrologic inputs for South Florida and the Everglades., The purpose of the Annual Hydrology Review is to summarize and explain hydrologic conditions experienced in Everglades National Park and the Big Cypress National Preserve during the water year. The hydrologic parameters examined for Water Year 78 include: precipitation, temperature, water level, water deliveries, and discharge. These data are summarized both graphically and in tabular formats to provide greater insight into hydrologic conditions during Water Year 78.

Orbital remote sensing satellites (LANDSAT A, B, and C) have provided a comprehensive and repetitive survey of the multivariant hydrologic parameters over both the accessible and inaccessible regions of the park. The authors analyzed LANDSAT multispectral data for the Shark River Slough region of the park. Hydrobiological zones were determined and plotted (using field data and high flight aerial U-2 photography). The spectral plots provided utility in formulating multispectral relationships between the emittent energy from the slough in order to determine the best possible multispectral wavelength combinations to enhance classification results. The authors used these classifications to determine the extent of each hydrobiological zone in the slough, as well as flow vectors for water movement.

Stone crabs (Menippe mercenaria) were trapped on a full moon from 6/79-6/80 throughout Everglades and Biscayne National Parks. Salinity, temperature, water clarity, principal fouling biota, and bottom type were recorded at each station in addition to number, carapace size, condition, and sex of crabs caught. Relative abundance, proportion of females, and number of juveniles were highest in Everglades National Park from Lostman's River northward. Juveniles were never found at most stations...
Show moreStone crabs (Menippe mercenaria) were trapped on a full moon from 6/79-6/80 throughout Everglades and Biscayne National Parks. Salinity, temperature, water clarity, principal fouling biota, and bottom type were recorded at each station in addition to number, carapace size, condition, and sex of crabs caught. Relative abundance, proportion of females, and number of juveniles were highest in Everglades National Park from Lostman's River northward. Juveniles were never found at most stations sampled in Florida Bay. The primary source of adult crabs in Florida Bay appears to be from the Gulf of Mexico., Spatial and temporal variations in the distribution, abundance, size class frequency, sex ratio, and reproductive activity of stone crabs Menippe mercenaria was studied in south Florida coastal waters and existing knowledge of the species was synthesized. Abundance of juveniles and adults was highest and mean size was smallest from Lostman 's River northward. Abundance decreased and mean size increased with movement southward through Florida Bay. Juvenile distribution and abundance was directly related to abundance of adults and proportion of females in the trapped population. BNP resembled Florida Bay in number and size of adults and lack of juveniles., Temporal changes in abundance, sex ratio and size class frequency of adults were correlated to reproductive activity and water temperature and corresponded to commerical fishing season offshore, and in Florida Bay. Females bear eggs in summer and become sexually mature by age three. Molting occurs from fall through spring in females, increase in CW by 10 mm with each molt and can live to age seven. Males may molt year-round with a mean molt increment of 16 mm CW for crabs greater than 70 mm CW. Males undergo a greater mortality rate than females apparently due to their greater susceptibility to commercial fishing pressure., Study Period:June 1979-June 1980; Study Type:Quantitative; Biological Component:Xanthid Crab; Habitat:Mud, sand, shell, rock, coral; Gear Type:Crab Trap; Abiotic Parameters Measured:Salinity, water temp; Dominant Taxon/Taxa Studied:Menippe mercenaria., The report includes sections on seasonal distribution, sex ratio, size composition, growth and mortality, and reproduction (NRBIB)., Abstract prepared by T.W. Schmidt, South Florida Research Center Everglades National Park.

The authors outline a recovery plan and recommendations at the end of the report., The Cape Sable sparrow (Ammospiza maritima mirabilis), subspecies of the Seaside Sparrow, restricted to extreme southern Florida, has elicited considerable interest and concern since its discovery in the early 1900's. Before being relegated to subspecific status, it was well known as the last bird species described from the United States (Howell, 1919; Stimson 1968.) It was widely believed to have been exterminated by a hurricane in September, 1935,but discoveries, apparent losses, and subsequent rediscoveries of the bird in various areas repeatedly brought it to public attention and aroused concern for its conservation.

Show moreSurveys in 1979 and 1980 revealed that pine forests of the Big Cypress National Preserve (BICY) support a sizable and largely unsuspected population of the Red-cockaded Woodpecker, a federally-listed endangered species. All colony activity centers and nesting/roosting cavities were located in stands of old-growth slash pine, but birds from several colonies foraged primarily in cut-over areas of younger pines. Because pine logging operations left frequent small patches of original forest within the cut-over section, in addition to the substantial areas not touched by logging, habitat acceptable to the Red-cockaded Woodpecker now occurs throughout much of the pine forest area of BICY., Survival of the Red-cockaded Woodpecker colonies located in remnants of the original forest within cut-over areas, about one-third of the known population, depends on the survival of enough of the mature pines until trees in the second-growth stands reach adequate size for woodpecker cavities. Severe fires which may kill mature pines and dense hardwood invasion of pine stands in the absence of fire seem to be the major ecological influences limiting available habitat. Realization that the Red-cockaded Woodpeckers of the BICY are a major, peripheral population unit of this endangered species emphasizes the need for completion of the population survey and initiation of biological studies.
