Downscaled catch data for Bering Sea groundfish and herring fisheries,
1970-2009 (B71)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/245.B71-001

Summary
This dataset consists of historical catches for the Bering Sea groundfish
fisheries from the Alaska Fisheries Information Network (AKFIN), NOAA/NMFS
Alaska Regional Office, North Pacific Groundfish and Halibut Observer Program,
and other sources were organized by species (walleye pollock, Pacific cod,
other groundfish), vessel class (catcher processors, and catcher vessels), and

spatial grid for the Bering Sea.
