"A bottom trawl survey of Queen Charlotte Sound and southern Hecate Strait was conducted on the fishing vessel Nordic Pearl between July 4 and August 1, 2017. The survey was jointly conducted and funded by the Canadian Groundfish Research and Conservation Society (CGRCS) and Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), and was the ninth in a series of surveys that began in 2003. The survey was conducted annually between 2003 and 2005 and biennially on the odd-numbered years since 2005. This survey is one of a set of long-term and coordinated surveys that together cover the continental shelf and upper slope of most of the British Columbia coast. The objectives of these surveys are to provide fishery independent abundance indices of all demersal fish species available to bottom trawling and to collect biological samples of selected species"--Abstract, page vi.
