NODC Accession 0115196 includes biological and fish examination data collected aboard the JOHN N. COBB during cruises SECM, jc0009, jc0012, jc0016, jc0018, jc0105, jc0109, jc0113, jc0116, jc0118, jc0209, jc0213, jc0216, jc0304b, jc0305, jc0308, jc0310, jc0312, jc0406, jc0408, jc0411, jc0414, jc0508, jc0510, jc0512, jc0608, jc0611, jc0613, jc9706, jc9709, jc9711, jc9714, jc9717, jc9805, jc9808, jc9811, jc9815, jc9818, jc9906, jc9909, jc9912, jc9915 and jc9918 in the Coastal Waters of SE Alaska, Gulf of Alaska and North Pacific Ocean from 1997-05-21 to 2006-07-31. These data include SPECIES IDENTIFICATION - ORGANISM LENGTH, HABITAT, STOMACH CONTENTS - FULLNESS, STOMACH CONTENTS - CONTENT WEIGHT, STOMACH CONTENTS - PREY COUNT, SPECIES IDENTIFICATION and SPECIES IDENTIFICATION - WET WEIGHT. The instruments used to collect these data include thermosalinographs, CTD, radiometer and trawl. These data were collected by Alex C Wertheimer, Emily A Fergusson, Joseph A Orsi and Molly V Sturdevant of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration - Alaska Fisheries Science Center as part of NEP. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NODC on 2013-10-31. The following is the text of the abstract provided by BCO-DMO: This coastal monitoring study in the northern region of southeastern Alaska, known as the Southeast Coastal Monitoring Project (SECM), was initiated in 1997 and repeated from 1998 to 2006 (Orsi et al. 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002) to develop our understanding of the relationships between annual time series of biophysical data and stock-specific information. Data was collected in conjunction with juvenile salmon studies in the Gulf of Alaska from 1997-2006 by the Southeast Coastal Monitoring Project.
