The field guide covers corals distributed in the eastern North Pacific Ocean including species and taxonomic groups from Alaska, British Columbia and international waters managed by the North Pacific Fisheries Commission. The guide is meant to be used by field biologists, fisheries observers and fisher-people working in the deep-sea. The guide includes five Orders, 31 Families and 153 Species of corals that have been documented from the eastern North Pacific waters. It provides links to common database identification numbers (e.g. World Register of Marine Species, GFBio Database, and the RACE bottom trawl survey database). Pictures of specimens, spatial and depth distributions, notes on sample collections and general morphological descriptions are provided for each species or taxonomic grouping"--Abstract.
