Fish and Invertebrate Interpolated Biomass Distribution Surfaces CURRENT

Published by NMFS Office of Science and Technology | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 02, 2026 at 11:55 PM | Dataset Last Updated: May 19, 2026 at 12:00 AM
These files contain rasterized interpolated biomass distributions for fish and invertebrate species caught in NOAA Fisheries fishery-independent surveys. The distribution maps were produced for the Distribution Mapping and Analysis Portal (DisMAP) project. The distributions were generated from catch-per-unit-effort data from the fisheries-independent surveys. This data set covers 8 regions of the United States: Northeast, Southeast, Gulf of Mexico, West Coast, Bering Sea, Aleutian Islands, Gulf of Alaska, and Hawaii islands. The CURRENT layers are identical to the most recent layers dated 20240701.
