• Description:
  NOAA’s Alaska Fisheries Science Center’s (AFSC) Ecosystems and Fisheries-Oceanography Coordinated Investigations (EcoFOCI) program has collected spring ichthyoplankton abundance data in the Gulf of Alaska since 1981. Collections were made nearly annually until 2011 when sampling was reduced to only odd years. This dataset is used to better understand population recruitment of major fish species in the GOA and provides early warning of potential year-class strength to inform fisheries management.
