This dataset includes station, catch (number and weight of all species captured in surface trawl operations), and individual fish information of the sampled portion of the catch. Similar to prior years, the jellyfish species, northern sea nettle (Chrysaora melanaster), had the largest surface trawl catch biomass with a total catch of 6,989 kg in 2019. Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii) were the most abundant species of fish with a total catch of 142,512 fish. Juvenile pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) were the most abundant species of salmon with a total catch of 13,507 fish. This dataset was prepared by the Alaska Fisheries Science Center under award NA19NMF4380229 from the NOAA Cooperative Institute Program and administered by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. These data and related items of information have not been formally disseminated by NOAA and do not represent any agency determination, view, or policy. These data were collected in support of salmon and ecosystem research in the northern Bering Sea.

A wide range of demersal (bottom) or pelagic (mid-water) species of fish are taken by this fishing method which entails one or a pair of vessels towing a large bag-shaped net either along the seafloor or in mid-water.
