Forage Fish Morphology Data from Prince William Sound, Alaska

These data are part of the Gulf Watch Alaska (GWA) long term monitoring program, pelagic monitoring component. This dataset consists of one table, providing fish morphology data from summer surveys in Prince William Sound, Alaska. Data includes: date, time, latitude, longitude, fishing method, fish common name, total length, fork length, weight, and whether or not that fish was saved. Various catch methods were used to obtain fish samples for aerial and hydroacoustic validations, including: modified herring trawl, purse seine, beach seine, gillnet, cast net, dip net, and jig.
