Scientists from the Midwater Assessment and Conservation Engineering (MACE) Program of the Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC) Resource Assessment and Conservation Engineering (RACE) Division routinely conduct acoustic-trawl (AT) stock assessment surveys to estimate the distribution and abundance of walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus).The survey (cruise DY2011-03) was conducted between 14 June and 12 August on the Gulf of Alaska shelf from 50-500 m depth extending from the Islands of Four Mountains to the Chiniak Trough east of Kodiak Island. The area referred to as the shelf includes transects that are roughly perpendicular to the continental shelf depth contours and extend in a general north-south direction from inshore bottom depths of 500 m. Smaller surveys were conducted in several bays and around islands including: Morzhovoi Bay, Sanak Trough, Pavlof Bay, the Shumagin Islands areas of Renshaw Point, Unga Strait, and West Nagai Strait, Mitrofania Island, Nakchamik Island, Shelikof Strait, Chiniak Trough, Barnabas Trough, and Alitak Bay. All activities were conducted aboard the NOAA ship Oscar Dyson, a 64-m stern trawler equipped for fisheries and oceanographic research. The survey followed established AT methods as specified in NOAA protocols for fisheries acoustics surveys and related sampling.
