Database of larval sampling observations in 2016 and 2017 with environmental values. The P and J in the "Area" column denote the observation in the Nansei area and the Japan Sea, respectively; "1" and "5" in the gear column denote "ring net" and "Tucker trawl", respectively; "pbf" means collected numbers of the Pacific bluefin tuna larvae in a net (inds per tow).本数据集收录了2016年与2017年的幼体采样观测记录及对应环境指标值。其中，"区域（Area）"列中的P和J分别代表南西海域（Nansei area）与日本海；"渔具（gear）"列中的"1"与"5"分别对应"围网（ring net）"与"塔克拖网（Tucker trawl）"；"pbf"表示单拖次网具采集到的太平洋蓝鳍金枪鱼（Pacific bluefin tuna）幼体个体数量，单位为尾/拖次。
