AFSC/RACE/GAP/McConnaughey: Trawlex Chronic Effects: Trawlex (1996) Macrofauna CPUE (count/hectare)

The eastern Bering Sea has experienced rapid and intensive development of commercial trawl fisheries. Because of good record keeping and the relatively brief history of fishing it is possible to reconstruct the spatial and temporal patterns of exploitation. Previously unfished (UF) areas can be identified and directly compared with heavily fished (HF) areas to investigate long-term consequences for the benthos. Using this approach, macrofauna populations in a shallow (48 m average) soft-bottom area were studied during 1996.

AFSC/RACE/GAP/Zimmermann: Cook Inlet Shoreline

We assembled 1.4 million National Ocean Service (NOS) bathymetric soundings from 98 lead-line and single-beam echosounder hydrographic surveys conducted from 1910 to 1999 in Cook Inlet, Alaska. These bathymetry data are available from the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC: http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov), which archives and distributes data that were originally collected by the NOS and others. While various bathymetry data have been downloaded previously from NGDC, compiled, and used for a variety of projects, our effort differed in that we compared and corrected the digital bathymetry by studying the original analog source documents - digital versions of the original survey maps, called smooth sheets. Our editing included deleting erroneous and superseded values, digitizing missing values, and properly aligning all data sets to a common, modern datum. There were six areas where these older surveys were superseded by compilations of reduced-resolution multibeam surveys. We digitized 12,000 features, such as rocky reefs, kelp beds, rocks and islets, adding them to what was originally available, and creating the most thorough source (n = 18,000) of these typically shallow, inshore features. We also digitized 2,418 km of the mainland and 529 km of island shoreline, generally at a resolution of 1:20,000, and digitized 9,271 verbal surficial sediment descriptions from the smooth sheets. The depth surface, shoreline, inshore features, and sediment data sets are mostly produced at a scale of 1:20,000.

AFSC/REFM: Bomb-produced age validation study

Fish age validation with bomb-produced radiocarbon (14C) requires a known-age Delta14C reference chronology
spanning the era of a marine increase in bomb-produced 14C (1950s to 1960s). Concordance between otolith Delta14C
in a validation sample and the reference chronology indicates accurate test ages. Here we compare a new Delta14C
reference chronology from the eastern Bering Sea and a previously established reference from the Gulf of Alaska
with otolith Delta14C in two validation species, eastern Bering Sea yellowfin sole (Limanda aspera)
and Gulf of Alaska northern rockfish (Sebastes polyspinis). Our goals were twofold: to validate
the age determination methods for northern rockfish and yellowfin sole using comparisons within oceanic basins,
and to explore the outcome of making naive comparisons of these validation data sets to reference chronologies
across oceanic basins. We present a information-theoretic approach to hypothesis testing and
use Bayesian data analysis with Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation as a probabilistic framework
to quantitatively estimate age determination bias and its uncertainty. Based on within-basin comparisons
we concluded that estimated ages for eastern Bering Sea yellowfin sole and Gulf of Alaska northern rockfish
were accurate. We further concluded that there were important differences in otolith 14C uptake between fish
from the two ocean basins.

AFSC/RACE/GAP/ROOPER: Impacts of longline gear on epibenthic invertebrates

In order to manage vulnerable benthic habitats, such as deep-sea corals and sponges, the impacts of human activity including commercial fishing must be known and accounted for. One type of fishing gear whose impact has rarely been studied is commercial longline gear. We performed a series of experiments in 2013 and 2014 to address this knowledge gap using inertial measurement units and underwater cameras. These data area stored as image files, .bcs files and as .csv files.

AFSC/RACE/GAP/McConnaughey: South Arctic Reconnaissance-2012-FFCPT

The Free Fall Cone Penetrometer Test (FFCPT) is a technique for geotechnical profiling of sub aqueous sediments. It was developed based on proven piezocone penetration test (CPT) theory and algorithms, with modifications to the manner of deployment and recovery. The instrument is designed to free fall through the water column, eventually impacting the seabed, recording penetration data at a high sample rate (2,000 Hz). This permits high resolution characterization of the sediment layering and material properties such as grain size and undrained shear strength. In addition to seabed characterization, the instrument can also be used for underway sound velocity profiling.

AFSC/RACE/GAP/McConnaughey:USBL Proof of Concept-1998-USBL data

The trials were conducted in Dabob Bay, Washington, in May 1998. The main objective of these trials was to determine an accurate and reliable system to track a fishing trawl. Three USBL vendors were invited and agreed to participate in the trials. Nautronix Ltd. (Nautronix) provided their ATS II system, Simrad Subsea A/S (Simrad) provided their ITI system, and Ocean Research Equipment, Inc. (ORE) submitted their Trackpoint II Plus system. A local ORE distributor, MECCO, Inc. (MECCO), provided and operated the Trackpoint II Plus system. The U.S. Navy?s fixed, underwater tracking range in Dabob Bay, operated by the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division ? Keyport, Washington, was also used in these trials. The range was used to provide simultaneous sub-sea positioning of the fishing trawl and to serve as a benchmark for system evaluations. The U.S. Navy also provided surface navigation support for the fishing vessel during these trials. The vessel selected by AFSC to conduct these trawls was the F/V Vesteraalen. It is 124 feet long, has a beam of 32 feet, and a draft of 18 feet. The F/V VESTERAALEN has a single, fixed-pitch propeller with a nozzle. By design, the vessel is like most in-shore trawlers and has, in fact, operated in Alaska in the past. The tests were conducted using NMFS otter trawls, typically used in Alaskan waters. A trial schedule was developed that would provide each vendor with three days to mobilize and test their systems. Each vendor?s equipment was attached to the fishing trawl, along with the U.S. Navy tracking gear. Both the U.S. Navy and the USBL vendor collected simultaneous trawl position data as determined by their respective equipment, with the trawl being dragged on the bottom along a predetermined track. The main objective of these trials was to assess the accuracy of each vendor?s equipment. This was accomplished using a statistical comparison between each vendor?s data and the U.S. Navy?s data that were observed simultaneously. This report details the results of these trials and summarizes the comparison results. It also contains details of the equipment and the methodologies used to collect and analyze the data. As a result of the data analysis, conclusions were drawn and recommendations have been included in this report.

Demographic Monitoring of juvenile Acropora spp. in the Florida Keys 2002-2004

Caribbean acroporid species have undergone extreme declines in abundance since the 1980s.  Population-level recovery will depend on re-colonization by juveniles (fragments or sexual recruits), which are particularly vulnerable to threats such as predation and disease.  Demographic monitoring of juvenile Acropora cervicornis and A. palmata colonies was undertaken in the Florida Keys (USA) to determine the fate of various initial colony conditions as expressed by growth and survivorship over an 18 month study.  Both healthy colonies and those with signs of recent predation or disease were selected at several sites, measured, photographed and reassessed periodically between summer 2002 and winter 2003-04.  Most A. palmata colonies (72%) that were initially healthy were still healthy at the study's conclusion.  Snail (Coralliophila abbreviata) predation resulted in partial mortality which decreased growth for A. palmata.  Snail-infested colonies tended to retain snails for several months to a year. White-band disease affected several colonies throughout the survey but did not result in complete mortality of any tagged colonies. Only half of the initially healthy A. cervicornis colonies remained healthy, while 38% lost substantial tissue or died of a rapidly progressing disease of unknown etiology.  Predation by the fireworm Hermodice carunculata was extremely common. Although it was associated with relatively little live tissue loss, it is postulated to have profound effects on growth since it feeds selectively on the growing tips.  Regardless of initial condition, A. cervicornis lost substantial tissue more often than A. palmata suggesting that A. cervicornis may be even more imperiled than its congener.
