These data are part of the Gulf Watch Alaska (GWA) long term monitoring program, pelagic monitoring component. This dataset consists of one table, providing fish catch data from summer surveys in Prince William Sound, Alaska. Data includes: date, time, latitude, longitude, fish common name, and fish count. Various catch methods were used to obtain fish samples for aerial and hydroacoustic validations, including: modified herring trawl, purse seine, beach seine, gillnet, cast net, dip net, and jig.

This dataset consists of two tables: 1) forage fish catch and size data from hydroacoustic trawl transects, and 2) taxonomic details of fish species collected around two seabird nesting colonies on Gull and Chisik Islands in lower Cook Inlet, Alaska.

These data are part of the Gulf Watch Alaska (GWA) long term monitoring program, pelagic monitoring component. This dataset consists of one table, providing: age, length, weight, dry mass energy density, and dry mass of forage fish (Pacific sand lance and capelin) captured in July in Prince William Sound, Alaska.

Child Item 1: "Forage Fish Catch Data from Prince William Sound, Alaska". Child Item 2: "Forage Fish Morphology Data from Prince William Sound, Alaska". Child Item 3: "Forage Fish Size, Age, and Energy Density Data from Prince William Sound, Alaska". Child Item 4: "Forage Fish Aerial Validation Data from Prince William Sound, Alaska". Child Item 5: "Marine Bird and Mammal Survey Data from Prince William Sound, Alaska". Child Item 6: "Zooplankton Biomass Data from Prince William Sound, Alaska". Child Item 7: "Macrozooplankton Hydroacoustic Index Data from Prince William Sound, Alaska". Child Item 8: "Hydroacoustic Survey Data from Prince William Sound, Alaska". Child Item 9: "Nutrient Depth Profile Data from Prince William Sound, Alaska". Child Item 10: "Conductivity, Temperature, Depth Profile Data from Prince William Sound, Alaska"

These data are part of the Gulf Watch Alaska (GWA) long term monitoring program, pelagic monitoring component. This dataset consists of one table, providing fish aerial validation data from summer surveys in Prince William Sound, Alaska. Data includes: date, location, latitude, longitude, aerial ID, validation ID, total length and validation method. Various catch methods were used to obtain fish samples for aerial validations, including:cast net, go pro, hydroacoustics, jig, dip net, gill net, purse seine, photo and visual identification.

These data are part of the Gulf Watch Alaska (GWA) long term monitoring program, pelagic monitoring component. This dataset consists of one table, providing the results of surveys conducted to document the summer at-sea distribution and abundance of marine birds and mammals in Prince William Sound, Alaska. Surveys followed standard U.S. Fish and Wildlife protocols for strip surveys. Data include: transect ID, date, time, latitude, longitude, record number, data type, animal species, count, behavior, plumage, distance, observers, observer conditions, the altitude of the survey, ice presence, trip ID, beaufort, transect type, transect width, and comments.

The Alaska Forage Fish Database (AFFD) is a consolidation of survey data from multiple agencies that were sampled via fishing gear and predator diets. The spatial coverage includes the Gulf of Alaska, Bering Sea, Aleutian Islands, Chukchi Sea, and Beaufort Sea. Fish species within the database include Pacific sand lance, Pacific capelin, Pacific herring, juvenile walleye pollock and Pacific cod, myctophid, squid, and euphausiid. The data package is comprised of six tables: (1) catch_table includes counts, weight, and individual morphological characteristics (length, sex, age) of the sampled species; (2) event_table includes sampling time, location, and methods; (3) gear_table includes specifics about of the gear used for sampling when applicable; (4-5) two tables with taxonomic designations for forage species or predator species; and (6) a reference table that provides summary information about each contributed dataset.

These data are part of the Gulf Watch Alaska (GWA) long term monitoring program, pelagic monitoring component. This datasets consist of multiple tables (one for each sample station and frequency), providing echointegration data from forage fish survey transects in Prince William Sound, Alaska. Each file contains analysis exports from EchoView Software Pty Ltd. ver. 7.1.29.30212.

These data are part of the Gulf Watch Alaska (GWA) long term monitoring program, pelagic monitoring component. This dataset consists of one table, providing zooplankton biomass data from samples collected in the upper 50 m of the water column during summer surveys in Prince William Sound, Alaska. Data include: date, time, latitude, longitude, depth, species identification, and biomass.

This data package contains one table with morphometric and diet information for "non-die-off" seabirds captured and collected in southcentral and southwest Alaska. Data pertains to birds captured (live) or collected (lethally) including, bird identification numbers, sampling dates, geographic locations, body measurements, diets (from either stomach contents or regurgitated prey), and sex and age of the bird when discernible. Common Murres (Uria aalge) and Black-legged Kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla) were captured from their breeding colonies in lower Cook Inlet, Alaska, 2016-2023. Kittiwakes, murres, Glaucous-winged Gulls (Larus glaucescens) and Horned Puffins (Fratercula corniculata) were collected in Prince William Sound, Cook Inlet, and Unalaska.
