Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Fish length, weight, and abundance data from trawl surveys in the Chukchi Sea, Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observing Network (AMBON) research cruise on the vessel Norseman II from 2015-08-11 to 2015-09-03 (NCEI Accession 0208100)

This dataset contains fish haul and specimen data collected in the Chukchi Sea, U.S. Arctic during the 11 August - 3 September 2015 Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observing Network (AMBON) research cruise. The dataset is one comma separated values (csv) file containing the length, weight, and life stage of the fish collected using a plump-staff beam or Isaacs-Kidd midwater trawl. This dataset was used to derive catch per unit effort (CPUE) by weight and species richness (number of taxa per haul) using analyses generated in the R software environment. The data was transformed from the native format into a table structure using Darwin Core term names as column names.

Purpose These data were collected in support of the Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (AMBON). The goal of the AMBON project is to demonstrate and build an operational marine biodiversity observing network from microbes to whales, integrating diversity levels from genetic to organismal. AMBON is funded through the National Ocean Partnership Program, with contributions from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Bureau of Ocean and Energy Management (BOEM), Shell Exploration and Production Company, and the National Science Foundation (NSF). The AMBON field region is located on the Chukchi Sea continental shelf in the US Arctic as a region exposed to climatic changes and anthropogenic influences. AMBON is composed of a team of multi-institutional and multi-sector partners active in a variety of Arctic biodiversity observing programs and covering disciplines ranging from genetic to organismal to ecosystem. In regards to this particular dataset, fish are typically small in the Chukchi Sea, but diversity and abundance can be high and they play important roles in linking lower trophic levels to seabird and marine mammal predators.
