attribute NC_GLOBAL acquisition_description String The OCC/GLOBEC survey occurred along the coastal waters of the Gulf of Alaska
and in Shelikof Strait, AK during 2001-2004. Transects sampled during the
survey were perpendicular to shore and extended from nearshore across the
continental shelf to oceanic waters beyond the 200-m shelf break. The survey
was conducted aboard the contract fishing vessel F/V Great Pacific during
2001-2002 and 2004, and aboard NOAA Ship Miller Freeman during 2003.

Fish samples were collected in a 198-m long mid-water rope trawl with
hexagonal mesh wings and body, and a 1.2-cm mesh liner in the codend. The rope
trawl was towed at 6.5 to 9.3 km \u2022 hour-1, at or near surface, and had a
typical spread of 40-m horizontally and 15-m vertically. All tows lasted 30
minutes and covered 2.8 to 4.6 km, and sampling was done during daylight
hours; however, tows occurred during night as part of a 24-hour repeat
sampling of a single station for one day during 2001 and 2003.

Once the net was hauled aboard, salmon and other fishes were sorted by species
and counted. Standard biological measurements including fork length, body
weight, and sex were taken from sub-samples of all salmon species. Sub-samples
of juvenile pink (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha), chum (O. keta), and sockeye (O.
nerka) salmon were frozen whole for laboratory analyses of food habits,
otolith hatchery thermal marks (pink and chum salmon), and genetic analysis
(chum salmon).

Plankton samples were collected using a 1-m2 Tucker trawl fitted with a 505-um
mesh net that was towed near surface (approximately 1 knot) for 5 minutes
(2001-2003 surveys). During 2004, plankton samples were collected using a WP-2
net fitted with a 253-um mesh net that was deployed vertically to a depth of
100-m depth. The volume of water filtered by the net was estimated using flow
meters. Plankton samples were transferred into vials, preserved in 5% formalin
onboard the ship, and stored until a laboratory analysis was completed.

attribute NC_GLOBAL instruments_0_description String A Bongo Net consists of paired plankton nets, typically with a 60 cm diameter mouth opening and varying mesh sizes, 10 to 1000 micron. The Bongo Frame was designed by the National Marine Fisheries Service for use in the MARMAP program. It consists of two cylindrical collars connected with a yoke so that replicate samples are collected at the same time. Variations in models are designed for either vertical hauls (OI-2500 = NMFS Pairovet-Style, MARMAP Bongo, CalVET) or both oblique and vertical hauls (Aquatic Research). The OI-1200 has an opening and closing mechanism that allows discrete "known-depth" sampling. This model is large enough to filter water at the rate of 47.5 m3/minute when towing at a speed of two knots. More information: Ocean Instruments, Aquatic Research, Sea-Gear

Goal: To understand the effects of climate variability and climate change on the distribution, abundance and production of marine animals (including commercially important living marine resources) in the eastern North Pacific. To embody this understanding in diagnostic and prognostic ecosystem models, capable of capturing the ecosystem response to major climatic fluctuations.
Approach: To study the effects of past and present climate variability on the population ecology and population dynamics of marine biota and living marine resources, and to use this information as a proxy for how the ecosystems of the eastern North Pacific may respond to future global climate change. The strong temporal variability in the physical and biological signals of the NEP will be used to examine the biophysical mechanisms through which zooplankton and salmon populations respond to physical forcing and biological interactions in the coastal regions of the two gyres. Annual and interannual variability will be studied directly through long-term observations and detailed process studies; variability at longer time scales will be examined through retrospective analysis of directly measured and proxy data. Coupled biophysical models of the ecosystems of these regions will be developed and tested using the process studies and data collected from the long-term observation programs, then further tested and improved by hindcasting selected retrospective data series.
