Description:

Abstract:

The Benthic Infauna data file presents the numerical abundance and species composition of sediment infauna populations taken at stations during the project on the West Coast of the United States.

Purpose:

The purpose of this table is to contain species and abundance data collected during the 1999 sampling season..

Supplemental_Information:

OVERVIEW: In 1999 the US EPA contracted the states of Washington, Oregon, and California to conduct a West Coast Estuary survey. There were 210 stations in the sample design, 18 of which were not able to be sampled for a total of 192 successful measurements. DATA TYPES: Grabs, Trawls, and Water Quality casts were conducted at each of the stations to yield Benthic infauna, Sediment Toxicity, Sediment Chemistry, Trawl Fish, Macro Invertebrate, Debris, water column characterization at one meter increments from surface to bottom, and sediment grain size data. These data types can be aggregated using the StationID variable in each table. Missing numerical values have been coded as -99 Missing text values have been coded as NR Missing date values have been coded as 01/Jan/1999 Missing time values have been coded as 23:00 Gene Ruff's Response to 1999 WEMAP Annelida Species Changes Suggested by Leslie Harris Original Identification Harris' Suggested Change Ruff's Final Identification Conclusion Reason Date Changed Ampharete cf crassiseta Ampharete reducta Ampharete cf crassiseta no data change see report NA Drilonereis longa Drilonereis sp A SCAMIT 1966 Drilonereis longa no data change see report NA Phyllodoce maculata Phyllodoce williamsi Phyllodoce williamsi change data see report 2/11/2003 Glycera convoluta Glycera macrobranchia Glycera macrobranchia change data taxonomic update 2/11/2003 Podarke pugettensis Ophiodromus pugettensis Ophiodromus pugettensis change data taxonomic update 2/11/2003 Eudistylia catherinae Eudistylia catharinae Eudistylia catharinae change data spelling error 2/11/2003 Annelida Taxonomic Updates Original Identification Updated Identification Date Changed Artacamella hancocki Trichobranchus glacialis 2/11/2003 Hemipodus borealis Hemipodia borealis 2/11/2003 Lanassa venusta venusta Lanassa venusta 2/11/2003 Notomastus tenuis Notomastus hemipodus (WA, OR, NoCal) 2/11/2003 Phyllochaetopterus claparedii Phyllochaetopterus pottsi 2/11/2003 Podarkeopsis glabra Podarkeopsis glabrus 2/11/2003 Scoloplos armiger Scoloplos armiger armiger 2/11/2003 Typosyllis hyperioni Typosyllis caeca 2/11/2003 Resolution of Crustacea Data Changes Suggested by John Chapman Original Identification Chapman's Suggested Change Final Identification Conclusion Reason Date Changed Leptochelia savignyi Leptochelia dubia Leptochelia dubia change data Taxonomic update 2/11/2003 Corophium insidiosum Monocorophium insidiosum Monocorophium insidiosum change data Taxonomic update 2/11/2003 Caecidotea racovitzae Caecidotea racovitzai Caecidotea racovitzai change data spelling error 2/11/2003 Aoroides intermedia Aoroides intermedius Aoroides intermedius change data spelling error 2/11/2003 Crustacea Taxonomic Updates Original Identification Updated Identification Date Changed Corophium (Americorophium) salmonis Americorophium salmonis 2/11/2003 Corophium (Americorophium) spinicorne Americorophium spinicorne 2/11/2003 Corophium (Americorophium) stimpsoni Americorophium stimpsoni 2/11/2003 Corophium (Monocorophium) acherusicum Monocorophium acherusicum 2/11/2003 Corophium (Monocorophium) cf uenoi Monocorophium cf uenoi 2/11/2003 Corophium californianum Monocorophium californianum 2/11/2003 Resolution of Mollusca Data Changes Suggested by John Chapman Original Identification Suggested Change Final Identification Conclusion Reason Date Changed Fartulum occidentale Caecum occidentale Caecum occidentale Change data Taxonomic update 2/11/2003 Platyodon cancellatus Mya arenaria Mya arenaria Change data Re-identification 2/11/2003 Macoma eliminata Macoma elimata Macoma elimata Change data Spelling 2/11/2003 Transenella tantilla Nutricola tantilla Nutricola tantilla Change data Taxonomic update 2/11/2003
