FRD Trawl Database

Published by Southwest Fisheries Science Center | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: May 16, 2026 at 10:17 PM | Dataset Last Updated: January 27, 2025 at 12:00 AM
Specimens captured in trawls by the SWFSC Fisheries Resources Division during surveys for coastal pelagic species. Most tows were targeted for coastal pelagic species (e.g., sardine, anchovy, mackerels) using a Nordic trawl (2023 and before) or a Multi-Function Trawl net (2024 and after) on the surface at night. The database includes information on individual trawls, catch data with identification to various taxonomic levels depending on species, length frequencies, and individual length and weight data.
