The estimates build upon raw and summary data available from the RACEBASE database and include calculated catch-per-unit-effort (cpue)s for principal species of groundfish and key invertebrates for each survey region. The cpues are averaged by survey strata, and then average cpues are multiplied by stratum areas which results in estimates of biomass and numerical abundance. Length and age data are combined with abundance to estimate the population at length and sex and population at age and sex.\r\n \r\n \r\n The cpues, biomass, and age and size composition estimates are used by NOAA Fisheries scientists in stock assessments of groundfish and invertebrate species managed by the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council.\r\n \r\n \r\n underDevelopment\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Palsson, Wayne\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n wayne.palsson@noaa.gov\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n pointOfContact\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Palsson, Wayne\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n wayne.palsson@noaa.gov\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n E-mail data steward\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n custodian\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n asNeeded\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Alaska\r\n \r\n \r\n Aleutian Islands\r\n \r\n \r\n Gulf of Alaska\r\n \r\n \r\n place\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n DOC/NOAA/NMFS/AFSC > Alaska Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce\r\n \r\n \r\n dataCentre\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 2017-04-24\r\n \r\n \r\n publication\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n 8.5\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords\r\n \r\n \r\n GCMD Keyword Forum Page\r\n \r\n \r\n Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2024.

These surveys have been conducted since 1980 in the AI and since 1984 in the GOA and conform to NOAA Protocols for Groundfish Bottom Trawl Surveys of the Nation\u2019s Fishery Resources (2004, G. Stauffer compiler, NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS-SPO-65). The survey consists of three chartered commercial fishing vessels that tow a bottom trawl at randomly-selected stations stratified by region, depth, and in the case of the GOA, habitat. \r\n\r\nFor the GOA survey, the sampling frame is known trawlable or new sites throughout the survey area, stratified by management areas; by shelf, slope, or gully habitats; and by depth zones including 0-100 m, 101-200 m, 201-300 m, 301-500 m, 501-700 m, and 701-1000 m (for GOA survey methodology, see von Szalay et al. 2010 Data Report: 2009 Gulf of Alaska Bottom Trawl Survey, NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS-AFSC-208). \r\n\r\nFor the AI survey, the sampling frame is past successfully towed stations, stratified by management region and the same GOA depth zones but only as deep as 500 m (for GOA survey methodology, see von Szalay et al. 2011. Data Report : 2010 Aleutian Islands Bottom Trawl Survey. NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS-AFSC-215). At each station the research trawl is set for a targeted period of 15 min and if the tow is successful, the catch is processed. Catch processing includes identifying, counting, and weighing all living taxa, collecting length measurement for commercially and ecologically important groundfish and invertebrate species, and collecting other materials, such as age structure, for laboratory or other scientific analysis. For each tow, detailed data are collected about the characteristics of the sample including position, time, depth, surface and bottom temperatures, and net characteristics. Sensors on the net measure how the net is fishing, and we track the contact of the foot rope with the seafloor, the width of the net at the wing tips, and the height of the headrope.\r\n\r\nTow-by-tow data are entered into computer databases or acquired electronically. Once the survey is completed, the data are error checked and finalized into a database known as RACEBASE. \r\n\r\nThese data are further processed into estimates of abundance in terms of biomass and numbers of organisms. \r\nEstimates of abundance are based upon the area-swept technique whereby the catch per unit of effort (cpue) is computed for each successful station as the weight or count of each species divided by the area that the net contacted the seafloor during the tow. These calculated cpues are then averaged among the stations in each stratum and then multiplied by the calculated area of the stratum (as measured from digitized nautical charts and a geographic information system). \r\nThe product of these terms is an estimate of the biomass or numerical abundance (see von Szalay et al. 2010 Data Report: 2009 Gulf of Alaska Bottom Trawl Survey, NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS-AFSC-208 and von Szalay et al. 2011. Data Report : 2010 Aleutian Islands Bottom Trawl Survey. NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS-AFSC-215 for more complete methods). \r\n\r\nThe abundance estimates for the strata are combined by area-depth categories for convenient analysis. In addition, the population-at-length is estimate by applying length-sex frequency observations to the population abundance estimates. As age structures are evaluated for age determination, the population-at-size estimates are used with an age-length key to estimate the population-at-age structure of selected species.\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n","source_transform":null,"status":"error"}
