        supplementalInformation:  Note: While this package has been superseded by NCEI accession 0206670 the data collected in the year 2000 is not part of the new package. Estimates for fish abundance based on the data from 2000 are statistically biased compared with estimates for 2001 and the succeeding years, and should not be generalized to represent averages for any specific habitat type in 2000 for these following reasons: 1) The sampling design used for collection of fish data in 2000 was opportunistic rather than the random-stratified sampling design implemented in 2001 and the following years; 2) The fish survey method was 15 minute point count instead of the 100m-2 belt transect used the succeeding years (2001-2012); and 3) The accompanying quadrat surveys to collect detailed information on benthic composition of the seafloor was implemented in 2001, and no such data exists for the year 2000. Please reference NOAA/NOS/NCCOS/CCMA/Biogeography Branch when utilizing these data in a report or peer reviewed publication. Additionally, knowledge of how this dataset has been of use and which organizations are utilizing it is of great benefit for ensuring this information continues to meet the needs of the management and research communities. Therefore, it is requested but not mandatory, that any user of this data supply this information to the Program Manager: Kimberly Roberson (kimberly.roberson@noaa.gov). These data were prepared by an agency of the United States Government.
