AFSC/RACE: Northeast Pacific Ichthyoplankton Information System

Abstract:: The taxonomic data were obtained from eggs and larvae collected during ichthyoplankton surveys conducted from 1972 to 2015 by the Recruitment Processes Program. Data on distribution and abundance of eggs and larvae were based on surveys from 1972-2015, excluding 1973-1976. Collection data for cruises conducted up to 1988 can be found in Dunn and Rugen (1989), and in the AFSC ichthyoplankton cruise database (Rugen, 2008) for those cruises conducted from 1989 to 2008. The majority of the data are from samples collected using a MARMAP type bongo sampler (Posgay and Marak, 1980) with an inside diameter of 60 cm and a 0.333 or 0.505-mm mesh net. Before 1985, standard MARMAP oblique tows were made to 200 m following MARMAP sampling procedures (Smith and Richardson 1977). In 1985, sampling depth in the Gulf of Alaska was changed to near bottom in order to accurately determine the abundance of walleye pollock eggs and early larvae. Beginning in the early 1990s, annual larval surveys in the Gulf of Alaska began to sample to 100 m in late May because that is where the larvae are most abundant. Flowmeters suspended in the mouths of the nets of all ichthyoplankton gear were used to determine the volume of water filtered by each net. Data from 1-m Tucker trawls were used only for cruises in which Tucker trawls were the primary gear (13 cruises, 898 tows). A Sameoto neuston sampler (Sameoto and Jaroszyinski, 1969), with a mouth opening 0.3 m high x 0.5 m wide and a 0.505-mm mesh net, was used sporadically throughout the time series to collect eggs and larvae that reside in the upper surface waters. Plankton samples were preserved in the field using a 5% formalin-seawater solution buffered with calcium carbonate chips or sodium borate; after 1983, fish larvae were transferred to 70% ethanol after formalin fixation. All fish eggs, larvae, and juveniles have been removed and identified to the lowest possible taxon since 1980 at the Plankton Sorting and Identification Center in Szczecin, Poland. Identifications are verified by the taxonomic team at AFSC using information found in Matarese et al. (1989) and supplemented by a number of more recent publications including those by Moser (1996), Busby (1998), and Orr and Matarese (2000), and Blood and Matarese (2011).
Purpose:: The Recruitment Processes Program at NOAA's Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC) has been collecting ichthyoplankton in the Northeast Pacific and Bering Sea since the early 1970s, resulting in an invaluable collection of specimens and a comprehensive dataset of locality, distribution, and abundance information for the early-life-history (ELH) stages of fishes in the area.

Methodology:

Methodology_Type: field bongo, Tucker
Methodology_Description:: Abundance of target species collected with Bongo or Tucker gear. The number of individuals caught in each of the three sampling gears (i.e., bongo net, neuston net, and Tucker trawl) was standardized to number caught per 10 m2 of surface area. Catches from bongo and Tucker gear were standardized based on net mouth area and tow depth and length (Smith and Richardson, 1977). Some of the Tucker tows were depth stratified; that is, two nets sampled two contiguous depth intervals. In these cases, the catches per 10 m2 from both nets were summed to integrate over the depths sampled by both nets. Since both gears were fished at similar depth ranges, we assumed that bongo and Tucker gear sample essentially the same population, and thus allowed data from these two gears to be combined. This assumption is supported by Shima and Bailey (1994), who concluded that the fish-length-specific sampling effectiveness of these two gears is not significantly different. It was also assumed that no individuals occurred below the depth sampled by the gear, thus the number caught per 10 m2 of surface area represents the total number of individuals in the water column below a surface area of 10 m2.

Methodology:

Methodology_Type: field neuston
Methodology_Description:: Abundance of target species collected with neuston gear. The number of individuals caught in each of the three sampling gears (i.e., bongo net, neuston net, and Tucker trawl) was standardized to number caught per 10 m2 of surface area. Samples collected by neuston gear were standardized to number caught per 10 m2 of surface area based on net mouth width and tow length.
