Description

Summary of Dosidicus gigas size, sex, and maturity from BIPXII cruise in October 2013 in the Central Gulf of California, Mexico, Santa Rosalia (27.3N, 112.1W) to Bahia Las Animas (28.9N, 113.3W) to Guaymas (27.8N, 111.3W).

Methods & Sampling

Squid were captured during rod-and-reel jigging sessions using weighted, luminescent jigs (8–50 cm length) fished at depths from 200 m to the surface. Measurements were made on the research vessel within 1-2 hours of capture. Length was measured with a flexible tape, generally to the nearest 0.5 cm. Mass was weighed with a digital hanging scale to the nearest 0.1 kg. Sex and maturity were visually determined following criteria for Stages 1-5 (Lipinski & Underhill, 1995): Stage I–II = immature, Stage III = maturing, Stage IV–V = mature. (See also Hoving et al. 2013.) CTD data from these sampling sites are also available and have been deposited with BCO-DMO.

Data Processing Description

Summary data have been reduced from the raw data recorded for every squid sampled. Raw data can be provided in spreadsheet format by the PI on request.

BCO-DMO data processing:
- modified parameter names to conform with BCO-DMO naming conventions;
- changed positive degrees west longitude to negative degrees east;
- added min/max columns based on the existing range columns;
- re-formatted range columns;
- replaced "-" with "nd" to indicate "no data".
