Near Real-time Temperatures from the 2025 Gulf of Alaska Bottom Trawl Survey

Water temperature affects many species' spawning times, access to food, growth rates, and overall range. Collecting temperature data helps better understand species’ habitats and the larger ecosystem. This page will update 3x/week throughout the survey.

A sea floor of soft sediment covered in venus flytrap sea anenomes and other invertebrates such as brittle stars. 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.
