CCGS W.E. Ricker Gulf of Alaska salmon survey, June 21-30, 2006

Description

abstract: The Highseas Salmon program of Fisheries and Oceans Canada conducted a survey of Pacific
salmon in the Gulf of Alaska from June 21 - 30, 2006 on the CCGS W.E. Ricker. The
objectives of the survey were to (1) evaluate the distribution and ecology of juvenile
Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) during their first year in the ocean, (2) describe
the ambient oceanographic conditions, and (3) quantify the biomass of zooplankton. Fish,
oceanographic, and zooplankton sampling was conducted at stations ranging from the west
coast of Vancouver Island to Forrester Island off Southeast Alaska.
