3DY08 SeaCAT Data

The objectives of the cruise were to examine the interactions among climate, weather, and the recruitment of fishes in the eastern Bering Sea. We will conduct ichthyoplankton and zooplankton survey in the waters along the eastern Aleutian Island chain and the Alaska Peninsula. This work is needed to describe larval fish assemblages and determine how physical and biological factors affect the transport and survival of fish larvae. The cruise is collaboration between the North Pacific Research Board's Bering Sea Integrated Ecosystem Research Program (BSIERP) and NOAA's North Pacific Climate Regimes and Ecosystem Productivity (NPCREP).
