Lineage Specimens were collected using fish traps. Fish were identified, weighed and measured to determine length. Data were recorded on data sheets and entered into a database at the end of the survey. At the end of each survey data are reviewed for accuracy/relevance by the field party chief. Specimens that were not identified at sea were returned to the laboratory to determine the correct species.
