Abstract:

This is a 3rd party data set used for NPRB Project BSIERP B53.


The data described in this metadata record files containing sampling cruise name, sampling station, Gear type, sampling time (GMT time), maximum sampling depth, sampling date (GMT date), bathymetry (bottom depth), sampling location (latitude and logitude), minimum sampling depth, catch (Catch per 10m^2), and number of individual fish caught. Historical survey data from 2008-2010 were collected in the eastern Bering Sea during ichthyoplankton surveys of the Alaska Fisheries Science Center.

Purpose:

Catch data of Atheresthes spp., walleye pollock, Pacific cod, from ichthyoplankton surveys provide information for understanding the spatial distribution (vertically and horizontally) during their early life stages.

Entity_and_Attribute_Information:

Overview_Description:

Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:

Data are collected at point locations catch from net tows using 60 cm bongo nets, MOCNESS, Methot trawl, and Modified beam trawl. Data were collected from 1988 to 2009 in winter, spring, and summer (though not all seasons in all years). Observed variable are bottom depth, maximum and minimum gear depths, abundance, number of individule fish, locations (latitude and longitude).


Station: Station is each point where each sampling were conducted.

GearAbrv: Gear type
(60BON=60 cm bongo nets, NOC1= Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System, METH=Methot trawl, and MBT= Modified beam trawl)


Net: Net number of each gear type




FOCICruise: FOCI cruise name


GMTTime: GMTTime is Greenwich mean time when sampling were conducted.<


MaxGearDepth: MaxGearDepth is the maximum gear depth


GMTDate: GMTDate is Greenwich mean time date when sampling were conducted.


BottomDepth: BottomDepth indicates water depth at each sampling point.


Latitude: Latitude at each sampling point.


Longitude: Longitude at each sampling point.


MinGearDepth: MinGearDepth indicates minimum gear depth


CatchPer10m2: CatchPer10m2 indicatescaculating abundance (caught individule fish per 10m2)


NumberCaugth: Caught number of fish
