Ichthyoplankton are fish eggs and larvae that are found mainly in the upper 200 meters of the water column. During this survey, that is occurring in the region between the Shumagin Islands and Shelikof Strait, we will assess the abundance of a variety of species of Alaskan fish, but especially larval walleye pollock.

Arctic cod Saildrone survey.

This Arctic survey of marine mammals in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas has been conducted every year off the northern and western coasts of Alaska since 1979. A long-term dataset like this is extraordinary because it is both unusual and important. Exact survey dates and boundaries have varied over time, but the study goals, general survey area, and survey methods have stayed remarkably similar. ASAMM is co-managed and conducted by the NOAA Fisheries Alaska Fisheries Science Center, and funded and co-managed by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.
