Credit: NMFS/NOAA One of the more common seafloor habitats in the Gulf of Alaska is sand and mud. These soft sediment habitats are home to the venus flytrap sea anemone (Actinoscyphia aurelia) and other invertebrates such as this great armored brittle star (Stegophiura ponderosa). Many of the organisms in these habitats are passive suspension feeders that orient themselves into the current to capture passing organic particles as they drift by. Image courtesy of NMFS, NOAA.

2015 Assessment of the Shark Stock Complex in the Gulf of Alaska

Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC) surveys and fishery observer catch records provide biological information on shark species that occur in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) (Table 20.1 and Figure 20.1). The three shark species most likely to be encountered in GOA fisheries and surveys are the Pacific sleeper shark (Somniosus pacificus), the spiny dogfish (Squalus suckleyi), and the salmon shark (Lamna ditropis).
