Trawl data from 14 R/V Pandalus cruises to the Coastal Gulf of Alaska from 1999-2004 as part of the U.S. GLOBEC program

<p>Coastal Gulf of Alaska Trawl Data</p>

<p><strong>Notes</strong><br />
1) This file was created to separate surface trawl samples used exclusively from 2001-2004 from gillnet and midwater trawl samples used in prior years. CPUE calculations based on these different gear types may not be directly comparable.<br />
2) Gillnet and midwater trawl catch data from prior years will be reported separately.<br />
3) Gear abbreviations: T = Surface Trawl<br />
4) Gear description: Nordic 264 surface rope trawl (198-m long, 25-m wide, 35-m vertical height, equipped with a 1.2-cm mesh liner in cod end) towed at the surface.<br />
5) Start times for trawls are when all warp wire and doors have been let out, and end times are when warp wire retrival begins.<br />
6) Numbers of fish caught from an event listed in this file may not match the count of number of fish measured in the \"Glength_September_2005\" file because in some cases the number of fish measured was a subsample of total catch.<br />
7) For cruises G01-3 and G02-2 field identifications of juvenile salmon were inconsistent. Pink, chum, and sockeye, therefore, are all grouped under salmon, unidentified juvenile, as noted in the comment column.</p>
