Abstract

Assessing rockfish abundance in untrawlable habitats is a key area of study for the Alaska Fisheries Science Center. In order to accurately estimate abundance knowledge of rockfish height off bottom by species and fish length. Since 2013, we have performed a series of experiments to examine rockfish height off bottom using a triggered camera system. These data area stored as image files, .Rdata files, .sql3 files and as .xlsx files.

Purpose

The purpose of this record is to document the main entities and attributes of the RACE triggered camera database.
