Lineage Field work was conducted at 4 sites in the coastal water around the eastern end of Kodiak Island, Alaska. Crab densities were estimated from sampling conducted with a video camera sled ("scrape"), that was augmented with a cutter bar and a codend. Scrape tows were made parallel to shore at depths ranging from 3 to 25 m. The distance towed was determined with the GPS coordinates of the start and end of each tow. During both 2010 and 2011 a smaller number of tows were conducted with a 2-m plumb staff beam trawl, which allowed sampling of crabs at greater depths than with the scrape. Using video from scrape tows, relative abundance of worm tubes was characterized along each tow. During June, July, and August of 2010, divers used quadrats to estimate densities of crabs and worm tubes. Carapace widths of crabs from scrape tows were measured during July and August of 2010 and during all 4 months (May-August) in 2011.
