Biology Datasets
Data analyzing the zebra mussel population dynamics in three Texas reservoirs over a period of 3-5 years. Data includes shell length of adult and planktonic larvae samples collected monthly, growth rates, reproductive periods, and settlement patterns. Additionally, water quality parameters are included for correlational analysis.

Competing pressures imposed by climate-related warming and offshore development have created a need for quantitative approaches that anticipate fisheries responses to these challenges. This study used a spatially explicit, ecological-economic agent-based model integrating dynamics associated with Atlantic surfclam stock biology, decision-making behavior of fishing vessel captains, and fishing fleet behavior to simulate stock biomass, and fishing vessel catch, effort and landings. Simulations were implemented using contemporary Atlantic surfclam stock distributions and characteristics of the surfclam fishing fleet. Simulated distribution of fishable surfclam biomass was determined by a spatially varying mortality rate, fishing by the fleet was controlled by captain decisions …
