28003 AFSC/RACE/GAP/Conrath: Notes on the Reproductive Biology of Female Salmon Sharks in the Eastern North Pacific Ocean Data Set Published / External 22291 Groundfish Assessment Program Project Completed 2014 Little information has previously been published on the reproductive biology of the salmon shark in the Eastern North Pacific ocean. This data set incorporates basic biological and reproductive information collected from female salmon sharks collected in September 2010 to February 2012. These data were collected to enhance our knowledge of the reproductive biology of salmon sharks within this region.

Contact: Daniel.woodrich@noaa.gov csv (comma-separated values) CSV - Comma Separated Values (Text) Attributes were assessed using by experienced shark researchers utilizing standard biological measurements. Salmon sharks were obtained from commercial fishing operations. To the extent possible all measurements were taken; some reproductive measurements were omitted for immature salmon sharks with undeveloped reproductive tracts. These omissions were due to the difficulty in measuring these small undeveloped structures. The data set provides observations with limited relationships. A two sample t test was used to observe relationships between reproductive state and the size of various reproductive structures. unknown No Unknown No No yes unknown NCEI-MD unknown "IT Security and Contingency Plan for the system establishes procedures and applies to the functions, operations, and resources necessary to recover and restore data as hosted in the Western Regional Support Center in Seattle, Washington, following a disruption." 1 These data were published in 2014. 2012-02-01T00:00:00 28336 Entity gov.noaa.nmfs.inport:28003 Nancy Roberson 2015-10-15T12:52:20 SysAdmin InPortAdmin 2026-03-04T19:17:17 2016-05-18 Alaska Fisheries Science Center AFSC 7600 Sand Point Way N.E., Building 4 Seattle WA 98115 USA https://www.afsc.noaa.gov 0700-1700 Pacific Time 1001 Public No No 2016-05-18 1 Year 2017-05-18 Biological data An excel table contains the biological data associated with these samples.
