Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Catch statistics and catch statistics - details collected from Canadian Coast Guard Ship Teleost in Georges Bank from 2021-03-17 to 2021-03-31 (NCEI Accession 0276932)

Preview graphic

Four separate data files are provided, each containing column descriptions and units of measurement.

GSINF: Mission/Set specific information including set date, set time, set positions, tow speed, tow duration, tow distance, tow depth, and information on sea state (wind force, current, surface/bottom temperature, and bottom salinity).
GSCAT: Species specific raw catch weights in kilograms from randomly selected fishing stations.
GSDET: Detailed biological information for individual specimens (length, weight, sex, maturity, age).
GSSPECIES: List of species codes, common names, species names

Each data file (GSINF, GSCAT, GSDET) can be linked by MISSION and SETNO. These are raw data and hence are not standardized by tow distance. This dataset is U.S. State Department MSR U2020-023 as part of the World Data Service for Oceanography Data are in XLSX format, cruise report is in PDF.

Purpose	The Fisheries and Oceans Winter RV Survey has covered a standard set of strata on Georges Bank (5Z) annually since 1987. The survey follows a stratified random sampling design and includes sampling of fish and invertebrates using a bottom otter trawl. These surveys are the primary data source for monitoring trends in species distribution, abundance, and biological condition on Georges Bank (for details see Stone and Gross 2012).
Use Limitations	accessLevel: Public Distribution liability: NOAA and NCEI make no warranty, expressed or implied, regarding these data, nor does the fact of distribution constitute such a warranty. NOAA and NCEI cannot assume liability for any damages caused by any errors or omissions in these data. If appropriate, NCEI can only certify that the data it distributes are an authentic copy of the records that were accepted for inclusion in the NCEI archives.
