The Strait of Georgia Ichthyoplankton Survey, 1979-1981.

The Strait of Georgia Ichthyoplankton Survey, 1979-1981. Ichthyoplankton surveys were conducted in the Strait of Georgia (British Columbia) during 1979-1981 to ascertain the onset of fish spawning, and to explore distributional pattern and estimate total biomass of fish species. Oblique tows were made using 0.25m2 Bongos equipped with 351 micron Nitex nets of modified SCOR design. All sampling gear was black to minimize potential avoidance and resulting catch bias. The tow procedure generally followed that established by CALCOFI. This dataset contains a compilation of corrected catches of juvenile fishes, fish eggs and fish larvae by station. 2023-07-11 Fisheries and Oceans Canada Moira.Galbraith@dfo-mpo.gc.ca Nature and EnvironmentScience and TechnologyFishOceanographyScientific informationDistributionMarine biology Data DictionaryDOCX https://pacgis01.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/FGPPublic/Ichthyoplankton/Data Dictionary_En_Fr.docx The Strait of Georgia Ichthyoplankton Survey_1981CSV https://pacgis01.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/FGPPublic/Ichthyoplankton/Strait_of_Georgia_Ichthyoplankton_Survey_1981.csv The Strait of Georgia Ichthyoplankton Survey_1981CSV https://pacgis01.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/FGPPublic/Ichthyoplankton/Releve_sur_l'ichtyoplancton_du_detroit_de_Georgie_1981.csv Strait of Georgia Ichthyoplankton Survey_1979CSV https://pacgis01.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/FGPPublic/Ichthyoplankton/Strait_of_Georgia_Ichthyoplankton_Survey_1979.csv Strait of Georgia Ichthyoplankton Survey_1979CSV https://pacgis01.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/FGPPublic/Ichthyoplankton/Releve_sur_l'ichtyoplancton_du_detroit_de_Georgie_1979.csv Strait of Georgia Ichthyoplankton Survey_1980CSV https://pacgis01.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/FGPPublic/Ichthyoplankton/Strait_of_Georgia_Ichthyoplankton_Survey_1980.csv Strait of Georgia Ichthyoplankton Survey_1980CSV https://pacgis01.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/FGPPublic/Ichthyoplankton/Releve_sur_l'ichtyoplancton_du_detroit_de_Georgie_1980.csv ReferenceDOCX https://pacgis01.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/FGPPublic/Ichthyoplankton/Reference Information En_Fr.docx Strait of Georgia Ichthyoplankton SurveyESRI REST https://gisp.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/arcgis/rest/services/FGP/Strait_of_Georgia_Ichthyoplankton_Survey_En/MapServer Strait of Georgia Ichthyoplankton SurveyESRI REST https://gisp.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/arcgis/rest/services/FGP/Strait_of_Georgia_Ichthyoplankton_Survey_Fr/MapServer
