Fish pathology and other data from fish trawls in the Gulf of Alaska from the MILLER FREEMAN as part of Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) from 27 January 1977 to 10 February 1977 (NODC Accession 7700662)

Fish pathology and other data were collected from fish trawls in the Gulf of Alaska from the MILLER FREEMAN from 27 January 1977 to 10 February 1977. Data were collected by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) as part of Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F013 Fish Pathology formats. Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/. An analog file for this accession is available from NODC user services.

F013 data set contains data from examinations of diseased fishes. Although these data may be from field observations, they derive primarily from laboratory analyses. Data include: location, and fishing duration, distance, and gear; catch statistics (e.g., total weight, number of individuals, age group, identity of diseases, and number of diseased individuals) by species for any number of species; and biological condition of selected specimens. The size, affected organ, location, and frequency of lesions may be reported for individual specimens. Specimens are identified with the NODC Taxonomic Code. These data may be characteristics of individual lesions or average lesion statistics.
