Methodology:
Methodology_Type: Field
Methodology_Description:
Fyke nets were deployed in water approximately 1 m deep and up to 50 m from shore. One or two data loggers were attached to each fyke net at approximately 0.5 m depth. Water temperature and electrical conductivity were recorded at 5-minute intervals using a HOBO Salt Water Conductivity/Salinity Data Logger (U24-002-C, Onset Computer Corporation, Bourne, MA).

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Upon retrieving data loggers and downloading the recorded data (date and time, temperature, and conductivity), each row was assigned a corresponding value for station, NetID(s), and NetDay, and was compiled into a single file. Values were excluded when sensor may have been exposed to air, including during net deployment and retrieval, and during storms.
Process_Date: Unknown
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Salinity was calculated given the measured water temperature and electrical conductivity using the function gsw_SP_from_C in the gsw package in R. We assumed a pressure of 10.6351 dbar to reflect the 0.5 m depth of the recorders. In summary, the PSS-78 algorithm is used when practical salinity is ≥2; practical salinity is recalculated using a modified version of the Hill et al. 1986 formula when <2. Details can be found in gsw package documentation (Kelley et al. 2021).
