Queen Charlotte Islands juvenile herring survey, August 2005
Description
abstract: In 2005 a Queen Charlotte Islands juvenile herring survey was conducted from August
9-19. Thirty-two sets were made at 8 locations within Statistical Management Area 2E.
The study area extended from Cumshewa Inlet in the north to Louscoone Inlet in the
south. The survey serves to address information gaps on the distribution, abundance, and
size of juvenile herring in these nearshore northern waters. Fourteen species of fish
were identified in the purse seine catche with herring being the most frequently
encountered species..
