Abstract
A report of fish abundance and species composition of the Florida Middle Grounds R/V Suncoaster Cruise, including an introduction, result and discussion, bibliography, map, and data tables. A limited reef fish survey of the proposed Habitat Area of Particular Concern (HAPC) in the Florida Middle Ground (FMG) was conducted by two members of the Rapid Fish Assessment Team, Reef Resources Team, Protected Resources and Biodiversity Division, SEFSC, NOAA Fisheries, from August 18-23, 2000. The primary purpose of this R/V Suncaoster cruise, PI Dr. David Mallison, was to map the bottom of the area utilizing side-scan sonar and multibeam bathymetry survey methods. At selected sites selected by bottom features on the sonar dives were conducted to collect bottom samples and videotape of the habitat, as well as survey the fish fauna.
