Collection of graphs and tools for the Mission Bay Collection dataset

This file contains a description of each station and various information such as date, time, location and etc., listed under the field headings.

Individual specimens measured (weight in grams and length in mm) and sexed from mainly targeted species caught during SWFSC-FRD fishery independent trawl surveys of coastal pelagic species. Individuals are categorized as random or non-random samples. Does not include species with length bins recorded in the CPS Trawl Life History Length Frequency dataset.

Samples collected using the Continuous Underway Fish-Egg Sampler, known as CUFES. The data include numbers of anchovy, sardine, jack mackerel, squid, hake, and unidentified fish eggs captured, and associated environmental.

An aerial monitoring program was conducted during the period 1962 - 2007 in cooperation with aerial spotters working for the commercial purse seine fleet. Flights were conducted throughout the year to estimate abundance of pelagic fishes off California and Baja California, Mexico. Measurements were recorded for each identifiable species in 10'-longitude by 10'-latitude blocks. Each record in this file describes the date, time of the day, location, total tonnage and/or number of schools sighted for some species by a pilot on a flight in a 24-hour period.
