Description:The fourth biennial groundfish survey of groundfish and invertebrate resources of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) was conducted during the summer of 2005 by the National Marine Fisheries Service's (NMFS) Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC). Scientists from the Groundfish Assessment Program of AFSC's Resource Assessment and Conservation Engineering (RACE) Division in Seattle, Washington, were responsible for the survey's design and operations. The biennial regimen extends the series begun in 1984, previously conducted every 3 years between 1984 and 1999, which have provided a time series of distribution, abundance, and biological characteristics of GOA groundfish resources for the purpose of stock assessment and management. In this report, we document the operations and results of the 2005 GOA bottom trawl survey. Results of routine analyses of distribution, relative abundance, size composition, and biological characteristics are shown for the principal groundfish species in each of the five International North Pacific Fisheries Commission (INPFC) statistical areas in the GOA: Shumagin, Chirikof, Kodiak, Yakutat, and Southeastern. These results provide stock assessment scientists and resource managers the most current information to be used for subsequent stock assessments and fishery evaluations. Only the 2005 survey results are presented and no comparisons are made to the results of previous GOA surveys. [doi:10.7289/V5/TM-AFSC-329 (http://dx.doi.org/10.7289/V5/TM-AFSC-329)]
