AFSC/RACE/GAP: RACEBASE Database

Description

The core function of the Resource Assessment and Conservation Engineering (RACE) Division is to conduct quantitative fishery surveys and related ecological and oceanographic research to measure and describe the distribution and abundance of commercially important fish and crab stocks in the eastern Bering Sea, Aleutian Islands, Gulf of Alaska, and, historically, the West Coast.The survey data are stored in a database called RACEBASE. It serves as the repository for both raw and summary data collected from the surveys dating from 1953 to present. It does not hold stream data.

0 The Resource Assessment and Conservation Engineering (RACE) Division Groundfish Assessment Program (GAP) of the Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC) conducts fisheries-independent bottom trawl surveys to assess the populations of demersal fish and crab stocks of Alaska. The data presented here are presence-only (non-zero) observations from those surveys and therefore CANNOT be aggregated. Please reach out to survey team leads listed in the metadata if clarification is needed. Selecting all surveys for all years and all species will result in a dataset of approximately 1 million rows and might crash the page. If the entire dataset is required, please use the API or let us know using the Comments page and we'll send the data to you directly. https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/foss/f?p=215:28:509692610826:::::
