Physical, chemical and biological oceanographic data from the Beaufort Regional Environmental Assessment : Marine Fishes Project, August-September 2012 / J. Eert ... [et al.]. : Fs97-16/197E-PDF

Oceanographic and biochemical sampling was conducted as part of the Beaufort Regional Environmental Assessment (BREA) Marine Fishes project in 2012. The goal of the BREA Marine Fishes project was to conduct the first systematic fish and ecosystem study on the outer shelf and slope areas of the Beaufort Sea, in support of regulatory decision-making for future hydrocarbon activities in the region. This report presents results from the CTD (Conductivity Temperature Depth)/Rosette sampling activities of the Marine Fishes project, providing a basis for understanding fish habitat and enhancing our knowledge of ecosystem structure in the Beaufort Sea. CTD/Rosette sampling was conducted at 32 stations, distributed along five transects on the Mackenzie shelf and slope, between 5 August and 3 September 2012. Vertical profile plots are presented for the CTD data including, pressure, temperature, salinity, oxygen, transmission and fluorescence, as well as discrete rosette sampling for inorganic nutrients (nitrate+nitrite, silicate and phosphate), oxygen isotope ratio (δ18O), total and >5 μm chlorophyll a and dissolved organic carbon. The data reported supports Canada-USA ecosystem and fisheries assessments and builds on coastal data from the Northern Coastal Marine Systems program.
