Brown E and McKenna S. 2021. SOP #19: Statistical Data Analysis and Reporting. Version 2.0. Pacific Island Network Marine Fish Monitoring Protocol. Unpublished National Park Service Report, Pacific Island Inventory and Monitoring Network, Hawaii National Park, Hawaii.
This SOP addresses data analysis and reporting for the Marine Fish Vital Sign in the Pacific Islands Network. Data analyses for (1) species richness, (2) abundance, (3) biomass, and (4) diversity are outlined. Integrated reporting of these four components is also outlined. This protocol outlines two initial steps of data analysis at each of the unit, landscape, and trend-assessment levels. These steps summarize and determine the range of variation for some parameters (based on present knowledge). Additional, multi-vital sign integration, synthesis, analysis, and reporting is not addressed in this SOP at present. The use of products identified in this protocol does not imply endorsement, effectiveness, or warranty by NPS.
