Fish/shellfish survey data from SMALL BOATS in the Gulf of Alaska from 1993-08-12 to 1994-08-19 (NCEI Accession 9700023)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 07:58 AM | Dataset Last Updated: October 22, 2024 at 12:00 AM
This dataset includes fish/shellfish survey data collected from small boats in the Gulf of Alaska from August 12, 1993, to August 19, 1994. These data were collected by Brenda Norcross of University of Alaska Institute of Marine Science. Data has been processed to the NODC standard Fish/Shellfish Surveys (F123) format. The F123 format is used for data from field sampling of marine fish and shellfish. The data derive from analysis of midwater or bottom tow catches and provide information on population density and distribution. Cruise information, position, date, time, gear type, fishing distance and duration, and number of hauls are reported for each survey. Environmental data may include meteorological conditions, surface and bottom temperature and salinity, and current direction and speed. Bottom trawl or other gear dimensions and characteristics are also reported. Catch statistics (e.g., weight, volume, number of fish per unit volume) may be reported for both total haul and for individual species. Biological characteristics of selected specimens, predator/ prey information (from stomach contents analysis), and growth data may also be included. A text record is available for comment.
