AFSC/ABL: ACES-SHELFZ (Arctic Coastal Ecosystem Survey AND Shelf Habitat and EcoLogy
of Fish and Zooplankton) Catch Database
|
The objectives of these Arctic nearshore fish surveys is to measure seasonal changes
in the distribution, demographics, trophic position and nutritional status of forage
fish during the partial and complete ice-free season near Pt. Barrow, along the nearshore
Chukchi and Beaufort Seas including Elson Lagoon, Alaska. These data will be related
to biological and physical conditions observed near the Chukchi and Beaufort coasts
and Elson Lagoon. Arctic Cod (Boreogadus saida), Saffron Cod (Eleginus gracilis),
Capelin (Mallotus villosus), Sand Lance (Ammodytes hexapterus), Coregonids and sculpins
will serve as the primary forage species targeted in the proposed work. The physical
features to be measured include salinity, temperature, current direction and speed,
wind direction and speed and bathymetry, but most importantly we seek a better understanding
of how weather (wind) would affect the transport through the multi-inlet Elson Lagoon
and its relation to coastal currents. Biological features include the community composition,
abundance, distribution and quality of zooplankton prey available to forage fish.
The catch data in this database include sampling efforts from 3 complimentary studies
using similar gear in similar areas: ACES (Arctic Coastal Ecosystem Survey) and SHELFZ
(Shelf Habitat and EcoLogy of Fish and Zooplankton), Ecology of Forage Fishes in the
Arctic Nearshore. Data will be comparable to NOAAs previous efforts in the nearshore
near Pt. Barrow (e.g. Thedinga et al. 2013). Combining these historical data with
the proposed work will lead to an improved understanding of the relationship between
forage fish and their nearshore habitats during the partial and complete ice-free
period. The information developed by this proposed project is needed by those engaged
in predicting impacts of climate change, developing oil and gas resources, managing
foraging habitat of marine mammals, and planning for increased marine transportation.
