Basic biological data from fish caught during the Beaufort Sea Marine Fishes Project (BSMFP), August and September 2012 / by Sheila Atchison, Andrew R. Majewski, Christie Morrison, Mark Ouellette, Krystal...: Fs97-13/1303E-PDF
"From August 5th to September 3rd, 2012, Fisheries and Oceans Canada conducted a baseline survey of marine fishes and their habitats in the southern Canadian Beaufort Sea as part of the Beaufort Regional Environmental Assessment called the Beaufort Sea Marine Fishes Project (BSMFP). Sampling was conducted from the F/V Frosti at 28 stations along four transects. Standardized sampling was conducted at pre-determined depth stations (20-40, 75, 200, 350, 500, 750, and 1000 m) using benthic trawling nets. The BSMFP is the first research project to use large research trawls to assess the biodiversity and abundance of offshore marine fishes in this area. In total, 40 species of fish were caught, four of which were new occurrences to Canadian fish fauna and eight of which were new occurrences in the Canadian Beaufort Sea. This report contains information on fishing net deployments, catch per unit effort (CPUE), and basic biological data for all fishes caught"--Abstract, page vii.
