Description:

The identification and description of essential fish habitat (EFH) for fish species managed under fishery management plans (FMPs) is a requirement of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1996. Groundfish species off Alaska are managed under two FMPs, one covering the Bering Sea-Aleutian Islands (BSAI) region and another the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). This report summarizes data collected by groundfish fishery observers from 1973-96 that may be useful in the identification and description of EFH for adult and juvenile life stages of groundfish and various species caught as bycatch. Length-frequency and depth distributions of groundfish species in commercial catches are provided in graphical form. As an index of relative spatial distribution, groundfish catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) is displayed on a series of charts covering the BSAI and GOA regions.
