Description:During the spring of 1976, 683 otter trawl samples were collected within an area of 337,930 km2 in the second of two baseline surveys designed to describe characteristics of Bering Sea demersal flsh and shellfish populations. Climatic conditions during the spring 1976 survey were anomalously cold, affecting both the pattern of trawl sampling and the apparent distributions of fish populations. During April and May, winter pack ice still covered 50-75% of the study area. Most demersal fish populations were distributed in deep water along tbe outer continental shelf where bottom water temperatures were warmest. At least two species populations showed extensive migrations.
