4MF03 SeaCAT Data

We will conduct an ichthyoplankton survey in the Bering Sea in the vicinity of Unimak Island, Alaska. This work is needed to describe larval fish assemblages in the Bering Sea (slope, outer shelf, and middle shelf) in spring. In particular, this area is a known spawning ground for walleye pollock, and abundances of pollock larvae at this time of year are high. Zooplankton data and data on physical characteristics of the water column will also be collected.
