Strait of Georgia juvenile herring survey, September 2005 and October 2006
Description
abstract: Fall juvenile herring surveys of the Strait of Georgia took place in 2005 and 2006.
Forty-six to forty-eight stations were sampled throughout the Strait of Georgia
following the ten core transects that have been sampled since 1990. The survey area
extends from Trincomali Channel in the south to Smelt Bay in the north. Both surveys
were run from mid-September into early October. Plankton tows were performed to
determine food organism abundance in the study area. CTD casts were made only during the
2006 survey to determine temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen.
