Fish larvae counts and standardized counts for larvae captured in CalCOFI icthyoplankton nets (primarily vertical [Calvet or Pairovet], oblique [bongo or ring nets], and surface tows [Manta nets]). Surface tows are normally standardized to count per 1,000 m3 strained. Oblique tows are normally standardized to count per 10 m2 of surface sampled. This table includes all tows by species, even if zero larvae were captured for the species, i.e., negative tows. The "Larvae Counts Positive Tows" table includes only tows where one or more larvae were captured for the species selected by the user.

These data represent counts of fin fish made by divers on fixed transects on permanent subtidal monitoring sites around San Nicolas Island between 1981 and 2019. Beginning in 2014, total length was estimated for most individual fish or size ranges were estimated for fish in schools. Fish were counted on seven sites, each of which had five midwater and five benthic fish transects. Six of the sites were first sampled in 1980, one additional was added in 1987. The sites have usually been monitored twice per year, most often in October and April. The midwater and bottom portions of each transect were sampled separately. Midwater transects were 5 m wide and encompassed the entire water column except the bottom 2 m. Bottom transects were 2 m wide and included only the bottom 2 m of the water column. The list of species counted was expanded over time as new species were encountered and the data here include all 66 species counted.

This dataset contains pelagic fish eggs counts, sea surface temperature, salinity, wind speed and direction, collected on various platforms using a Continuous Underway Fish Sampler (CUFES) from 1996-03-15 to 2017-07-26 as part of the California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigation work during cruises conducted by the National Marine Fisheries Service Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC) Fisheries Resources Division. Data are typically collected every 30 min while the ship is underway. Eggs are identified as Pacific sardine, northern anchovy, jack mackerel, hake, squid, or other fish eggs.
