11. Data The ALSI time series comprises two types of data those from diver based suction or airlift sampling and those from vessel deployed passive postlarval collectors Samples of juvenile lobsters and associated fauna are collected at the end of the lobster larval settlement season between August and October Suction Sampling Since the late 1980s diver based suction airlift sampling of naturally occurring cobble boulder habitat has been widely used to quantify recruitment of recently settled American lobster Fig 2 This is the most widely used method of data collection for ALSI in the US Figure 2 Diver based airlift suction sampling Figure 3 Vessel deployed passive postlarval collector Passive Collectors Vessel deployed passive postlarval collectors enable us to evaluate settlement at depths and locations that are otherwise unsafe or impractical for divers Fig 3 Collectors are made of 10 gauge vinyl coated wire with a 37 mm mesh measuring 61 0 cm x 91 5 cm x 15 0 cm deep and providing 0 55 m in floor area These structures are then filled with rocks to provide suitable settlement habitat and weigh approximately 80 kg Collectors are generally deployed in early July prior to the settlement season and are retrieved in at the end of the settlement season Data are primarily collected on lobsters but some participants also report data on associated crabs and fishes caught by the two sampling methods In addition some pa
