Description:In July-August, 1979 the National Marine Fisheries Service of the Northwest and Alaska Fisheries Center conducted a bottom trawl survey in the marine waters of Norton Sound. This report describes survey and analytical methods used and summarizes results in a series of tables and figures and in data appendices. Summarized in the Results Section are a list of species taken during the survey, abundance estimates of major taxonomic groups of fish and invertebrates, and rankings of individual species of groundfish in terms of relative abundance. For principal species of groundfish, geographic distributions and size and age composition are illustrated and abundance estimates given. The Discussion Section compares results of the 1979 survey with information collected during a previous survey conducted in 1976. The appendices contain the detailed station and catch data and computer listings of abundance estimates and biological characteristics of the sampled populations of principal species of groundfish.
