"Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) conducted a surface trawl survey from October 27 to November 3, 2016 on the CFV Frosti. This study targeted juvenile Pacific Salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) in southern British Columbia (BC). There were 364,385 individuals caught from 20 species in 37 tows. Rockfishes was the most abundant species with 96% of the total catch. Juvenile salmon species caught in decreasing abundance by count were: Chinook Salmon, Chum Salmon, Pink Salmon, Coho Salmon and Sockeye Salmon, with catch distribution varied based on species. Biological samples for genetic stock composition, otoliths, pathogen analyses, energy density estimation, stable isotope analyses and coded wire tags were returned to the Pacific Biological Station (DFO, Nanaimo, BC). Associated information on the physical oceanography (37 locations), water samples for chemistry and chlorophyll a along with zooplankton samples (37 locations) were returned to the Institute of Ocean Sciences (DFO, Sidney, BC)"--Abstract, page v.
