Fish and Invertebrate Bottom Trawl Dataset, Arctic Integrated Ecosystem Research Program, August - September 2017

These data are part of the Arctic IES component of the Arctic Integrated Ecosystem Research Program (IERP), sponsored by the North Pacific Research Board (NPRB), Collaborative Alaskan Arctic Studies Program (formerly the North Slope Borough/Shell Baseline Studies Program), Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), and the Office of Naval Research Marine Mammals and Biology Program. To investigate the distribution, life history, and interactions of biological communities in the U.S. Continental Region of the NE Chukchi Sea a survey was conducted from August - September 2017. Demersal fishes and epibenthic fauna were targeted with a 3 m plumb-staff beam trawl. Specimen for additional processing were collected. Catches were processed (see methods). Files included in this dataset are as follows: Haul Data: OS201701BottomTrawlDeploymentDatav2.csv Catch: OS201701BottomTrawlCatchSummary.csv Specimen Collection: OS201701BottomTrawlSpecimenCollection.csv本数据集为北极综合生态系统研究计划（Arctic Integrated Ecosystem Research Program, IERP）北极IES（Arctic IES）组分的一部分，该计划由北太平洋研究委员会（North Pacific Research Board, NPRB）、阿拉斯加北极协作研究项目（前身为北坡自治市/壳牌基线研究项目）、海洋能源管理局（Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, BOEM）以及海军研究办公室海洋哺乳动物与生物学项目联合资助。为探究美国东北楚科奇海大陆架海域内生物群落的分布、生活史及种间相互作用，研究团队于2017年8月至9月实施了专项科考调查。本次调查采用3米铅杆桁杆拖网（plumb-staff beam trawl）对底层鱼类与底上动物群开展靶向采样，并收集了供后续处理的标本，随后对所有渔获物进行了标准化处理（详见研究方法部分）。本数据集包含以下文件： 1. 拖网站位部署数据：OS201701BottomTrawlDeploymentDatav2.csv 2. 渔获汇总数据：OS201701BottomTrawlCatchSummary.csv 3. 标本采集记录：OS201701BottomTrawlSpecimenCollection.csv
