Growth measurements of mussels and fish in the Gulf of Alaska, 2014-2021

These are measurements of the last full growth increment on the shell and otoliths of mussels and fish, respectively. Organisms were collected in regions of the Gulf of Alaska as part of the Gulf Watch Alaska monitoring program, from 2014 to 2021, at depths of up to 20 meters. Mussels (M. trossulus were collected annually between 2014-2021 by hand at each site in each of the four study regions: Katmai National Park and Preserve (KATM), Kachemak Bay (KBAY), Kenai Fjords National Park (KEFJ), and Western Prince William Sound (WPWS). In each study region, mussels were collected at five to six rocky intertidal sites. Fish were collected in the general nearshore environment of the four study regions. The data are presented in a csv file.
