Samples of skin and other tissues are collected from marine mammals along the North-Central Gulf of Mexico from live animals through remote biopsy or live-capture or stranded animals during 2010-2014. DNA is extracted from these samples, sequenced, and analyzed using a variety of methods to support phylogenetic studies, stock delineation studies, and a variety of other analyses related to cetacean genetics associated with the Natural Resources Damage Assessment associated with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. These data sets include the sequence and other genetic data collected from these samples along with analytical results. These data support stock delineation studies and a variety of other analyses related to cetacean genetics and are incorporated into the Deepwater Horizon Damage Assessment and Restoration Plan.

This database archives genetic tissue samples from marine mammals collected in the North-Central Gulf of Mexico from 2010-2015. The collection includes samples from field sampling programs and stranding data. Data includes field identification numbers, location and date information, collection information, and disposition of samples. These data support stock delineation studies and a variety of other analyses related to cetacean genetics in the Gulf of Mexico related to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

Samples of skin and other tissues are collected from marine mammals along the U.S. east coast by a variety of researchers. Samples may be collected from live animals through remote biopsy or live-capture, stranded animals, or animals captured incidentally during fishery operations. DNA is extracted from these samples, sequenced, and analyzed using a variety of methods to support phylogenetic studies, stock delineation studies, and a variety of other analyses related to cetacean genetics in U.S. waters. These data sets include the sequence and other genetic data collected from these samples along with analytical results. These data contribute to delineation of stocks described in annual Marine Mammal Protection Act stock assessment reports.

The Biological Sampling Database (BSD) is an Oracle relational database that is maintained at the NMFS Panama City Laboratory and NOAA NMFS Beaufort Laboratory. Data set includes port samples of reef fish species collected from commercial and recreational fishery landings in the U.S. South Atlantic (NC - FL Keys). The data set serves as an inventory of samples stored at the NMFS Beaufort Laboratory as well as final processed data. Information that may be inlcuded for each sample is trip level information, species, size meansurements, age, sex and reproductive data.

Larval tuna data were collected on NOAA research vessels or charter vessels between 1950 and 1959 and between 1961 and 1964. 1955 - 1959 IATTC data were provided to Honolulu Laboratory, and PIFSC received IATTC's approval to share their data with the public. The dataset includes date, position, depth of tow, type of gear, volume of water strained, surface temperature, surface salinity and counts of tuna larvae.

This data set contains tuna morphometric measurements collected by Pacific Oceanic Fishery Investigations from 1949 through 1957 on research vessels. Date, position, gear, sex and maturity, weight and length measurements were collected on the following species: skipjack tuna, little tunny (kawakawa), bigeye tuna, yellowfin tuna, and albacore.

This project evaluates data from coded wire tagging with that from parental based tagging to identify stock of origin for Chinook salmon landed in Washington state commercial troll fishery.

This data set contains tuna morphometric measurements collected by Pacific Oceanic Fishery Investigations from commercial fishery (chartered) vessels in 1952 and 1955. Date, position, gear, sex and maturity, weight and length measurements were collected on the following species: skipjack tuna, bigeye tuna and yellowfin tuna.
