Title: Non-salmon meristics from the F/V Sea Eagle, F/V Frosti SE0005, SE0007, FR0206-01, FR0208, FR0206-02 from the Northeast Pacific, 2000 and 2002 (NEP project) (NCEI Accession 0113968)
Abstract: This dataset contains biological data collected on F/V Frosti and F/V Sea Eagle during cruises FR0206-01, FR0206-02, FR0208, SE0005, and SE0007 in the North Pacific Ocean from 2000-05-29 to 2002-08-17. These data include taxon. The instruments used to collect these data include Nordic 264 Rope Trawl. These data were collected by Dr Richard D Brodeur and Dr Robert L Emmett of Northwest Fisheries Science Center - Newport and Dr Suzan S Pool of Oregon State University as part of the "U.S. GLOBEC Northeast Pacific (NEP)" project and "U.S. GLOBal ocean ECosystems dynamics (U.S. GLOBEC)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2023-01-23.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

Non-salmon meristics

Dataset Description:
U.S. GLOBEC Northeast Pacific California Current System Mesoscale Process Studies: Non-Salmonid Meristics Data

During juvenile salmonid trawling cruises, additional sampling included CTD profiles, neuston net tows, and Niskin bottle water collections for chlorophyll a. At most stations, data on all parameters were collected.

Results: Detailed analyses of the nekton trawl catches for 2000 are presented in Brodeur et al. (2004) and for jellyfish for both years in Suchman and Brodeur (2005).

Supplementary information: Acquisition Description:
At each station, a Nordic 264 rope trawl built by Nor'Eastern Trawl Systems, Inc. was towed in surface waters by a chartered fishing vessel (F/V Sea Eagle in 2000 and F/V Frosti in 2002). It was towed with about 300 m of warp for 30 minutes at 1.5 m/sec with a pair of 3.0-m foam-filled trawl doors and 90.7-kg weight chains to spread the mouth open. Except for two mid-water trawling events, six A-4 Polyform floats were clipped to wingtips and the headrope to fish the trawl at the surface. The trawl has a maximum mouth opening of approximately 30-m wide x 18-m high. Mesh sizes ranged from 162.6 cm in the throat of the trawl near the jib lines to 8.9 cm in the codend. To maintain catches of small fish and squid, a 6.1-m long, 0.8-cm knotless liner was sewn into the codend. All but several tows were 30 min in duration. The majority of trawls was done during daytime, although a few were done at dawn and dusk and two diel series were completed in 2002. From each trawl catch, up to 50 individuals per species of non-salmonid nekton and jellyfish were measured at sea.
