Description:"The Resource Assessment and Conservation Engineering (RACE) Division of the Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC) has been conducting standardized bottom trawl surveys of the upper continental slope of the eastern Bering Sea (EBS) since 1976. The quality and specificity of field identifications for many taxa have fluctuated over the history of the surveys due to changing priorities and resources. Historical trends in identification quality for the EBS slope survey have not been documented. This report includes an identification confidence matrix for all fishes and invertebrates identified from the EBS slope triennial and biennial surveys from 1976 through 2010. The matrix lists a confidence level, with frequency of occurrence and numbers of vouchered lots, for each taxon for each survey year and is intended to serve as a general guideline for data users interested in assessing the relative reliability of historical species identifications on these surveys."
