10836 Data Set Published / External 74897 Archival Project In Work Data set containing information collected from the 1000+ fin clips collected by Hawaii & American Samoa Longline Observers that will be used to analyze the distribution of Lampris species throughout the central North and South Pacific Ocean. Determine the distribution of Lampris species throughout the central North and South Pacific.

Data Set Mixed As Needed Table (digital) Physical specimens (fin clips) stored in vials of ethanol in IRC Wet Archival storage, or sent to the SWFSC for genetic analysis, all have labels containing the specimen ID number assigned by the participating observer for identification. All information linked to each fin clip such as location, lengths, sex, etc. is stored in an Excel Spreadsheet on Meagan Sundberg's hard drive and G: drive at IRC.
