6MF06 SeaCAT Data

We will be conducting an ichthyoplankton and juvenile fish survey in the Eastern Bering Sea in the waters contiguous to the Alaska Peninsula and Unimak Island, Alaska. This work is needed to describe larval fish and zooplankton assemblages in the Bering Sea - basin, slope, outer shelf, middle shelf - in autumn. In particular, this area is a known nursery area for walleye pollock, northern rocksole, Greenland halibut, and Alaska plaice, and abundances of larvae and juveniles at this time of year are high. Zooplankton data and data on physical characteristics of the water column will also be collected. Limited beam trawling activities may also be conducted to study settlement and nursery areas for age-0 flatfishes.
