Project: Halibut Population
Owner  : Philip N. Hooge
Created: 6/1/92 2:20:12 PM
Summary:  
     Represented here are the results of studies on  pacific 
     halibut population parameters and habitat correlates.  
     These studies were begun as part of an effort to quantify 
     the ecosystem level effects of the commercial harvest of 
     halibut as part of a 10 year study to evaluate the 
     commercial harvest of halibut in Glacier Bay National Park. 
     The studies represented here were initiated to understand 
     the ecological consequences of halibut habitat choice, 
     population parameters, changes in CPUE, and the 
     distribution of predators and prey of halibut which could 
     provide needed data to  model the effects of commercial 
     fishing on halibut. Methodologies used  include capturing 
     halibut using commercial gear in a standardized fashion 
     (stratified random design, standardized equipment) 
     wire-tagging halibut and looking at recaptures in the 
     commercial harvest, and obtaining morphological 
     measurements on  halibut and bycatch.

  Citation Information:
     Title(1.1): 
       Data on the long-lines set to capture fish
     Abstract(1.2.1): 
       This dataset contains information on standardized 
       long-lines set in Glacier Bay to catch Pacific halibut.  
       Characteristics of the long-line and setting parameters are 
       recorded.
     Purpose(1.2.2): 
       These data were collected as part of an effort to quantify 
       the ecosystem level effects of the commercial harvest of 
       halibut as part of a 10 year study to evaluate the 
       commercial harvest of halibut in Glacier Bay National Park. 
       Knowledge of the effects of commercial fishing on CPUE,  
       habitat selection, the effects of recent glaciation and 
       oceanographic conditions on halibut and other ground fish 
       distribution  and general population parameters was lacking 
       in Glacier Bay and was determined to be necessary to 
       evaluate what effects the commercial harvest has on the 
       Glacier Bay Ecosystem.

     Description of Geographic Extent(1.5.0): 
       Sets were placed in Glacier Bay and Icy straits at the 
       mouth of Glacier Bay. A large stratified- random sample  
       was set between Willoughby/Drake Islands and the Marble 
       Islands.  In addition there are  a series of 4 nautical 
       mile spaced longlines set up the Bay and each Arm.

     Access Constraints(1.7): 
       Some Glacier Bay Ecosystem Project data sets may contain 
       data with access constraints.  Such areas include sensitive 
       information on the locations of endangered species or 
       cultural artifacts and data which contain private or 
       confidential information. Data sets which are not complete 
       may have access constraints until completion. Please 
       contact the Information Management Systems Administrator at 
       the Glacier Bay Field Station for details on any access 
       constraints.
     Use Constraints(1.8): 
       Some Glacier Bay Ecosystem Project data sets may contain 
       data with use constraints.  Such areas include sensitive 
       information on the locations of endangered species or 
       cultural artifacts and data which contain private or 
       confidential information. In addition some data sets are 
       collaborative efforts with outside researchers and 
       represent unpublished work for which we request respect for 
       intellectual property rights.  Some data sets are not 
       complete and if access is given the use may be restricted 
       until completion. Please contact the Information Management 
       Systems Administrator at the Glacier Bay Field Station for 
       details on any use constraints.

Data Quality Information

  Attribute Accuracy:
     Attribute Accuracy Report(2.1.1): 
       Data prior to 1994 has a estimated locational error of 
       about 100 meters. Data from 1994 has a locational error of 
       approximately 20 meters.
     Completeness Report(2.3): 
       1995 data not entered. Data set is complete for 1992-1993.

Lineage

  Process Step:
     Process Description(2.5.2.1): 
       Capture locations were determined before 1994 by the use of 
       GPS fixes at the point the fish was taken from the water on 
       long-lines.  From 1994 the position of the hook at the 
       setting of the long-line was determined by recording with 
       GPS the time and track line (with multiple fixes) of the 
       set and then calculating the position of each numbered 
       hook. This results in capture fixes being of much greater 
       accuracy.
Release locations were determined with the use 
       of GPS fixes at the release site.

  Citation Information:
     Title(1.1): 
       Data on halibut captured on long-lines and wire-tagged
     Abstract(1.2.1): 
       This dataset contains information on the individual halibut 
       caught and then wire-tagged with IPHC tags on research 
       long-lines in Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska.  This 
       includes morphological measurements, sex, and condition as 
       well as exact capture locations, hook size, bait, gear and 
       other parameters.
     Purpose(1.2.2): 
       These data were collected as part of an effort to quantify 
       the ecosystem level effects of the commercial harvest of 
       halibut as part of a 10 year study to evaluate the 
       commercial harvest of halibut in Glacier Bay National Park. 
       Knowledge of the effects of commercial fishing on CPUE,  
       habitat selection, the effects of recent glaciation and 
       oceanographic conditions on halibut and other ground fish 
       distribution  and general population parameters was lacking 
       in Glacier Bay and was determined to be necessary to 
       evaluate what effects the commercial harvest has on the 
       Glacier Bay Ecosystem.

     Description of Geographic Extent(1.5.0): 
       Sets were placed in Glacier Bay and Icy straits at the 
       mouth of Glacier Bay. A large stratified- random sample  
       was set between Willoughby/Drake Islands and the Marble 
       Islands.  In addition there are  a series of 4 nautical

       Data prior to 1994 has a estimated locational error of 
       about 100 meters. Data from 1994 has a locational error of 
       approximately 20 meters.
     Completeness Report(2.3): 
       1995 data not entered. Data set is complete for 1992-1993. 

Lineage

  Process Step:
     Process Description(2.5.2.1): 
       Capture locations were determined before 1994 by the use of 
       GPS fixes at the point the fish was taken from the water on 
       long-lines.  From 1994 the position of the hook at the 
       setting of the long-line was determined by recording with 
       GPS the time and track line (with multiple fixes) of the 
       set and then calculating the position of each numbered 
       hook. This results in capture fixes being of much greater 
       accuracy.
Release locations were determined with the use 
       of GPS fixes at the release site.

  Citation Information:
     Title(1.1): 
       Data on species other than halibut caught on research 
       long-lines
     Abstract(1.2.1): 
       This dataset contains information on species other than 
       halibut which were caught on standardized research 
       long-lines in Glacier Bay National Park.  Length 
       measurements as well as exact catch locations, hook size, 
       and bait are recorded.
     Purpose(1.2.2): 
       These data were collected as part of an effort to quantify 
       the ecosystem level effects of the commercial harvest of 
       halibut as part of a 10 year study to evaluate the 
       commercial harvest of halibut in Glacier Bay National Park. 
       Knowledge of the effects of commercial fishing on CPUE,  
       habitat selection, the effects of recent glaciation and 
       oceanographic conditions on halibut and other ground fish 
       distribution  and general population parameters was lacking 
       in Glacier Bay and was determined to be necessary to 
       evaluate what effects the commercial harvest has on the 
       Glacier Bay Ecosystem.

Spatial Domain
     Description of Geographic Extent(1.5.0): 
       Sets were placed in Glacier Bay and Icy straits at the 
       mouth of Glacier Bay. A large stratified- random sample  
       was set between Willoughby/Drake Islands and the Marble 
       Islands.  In addition there are  a series of 4 nautical 
       mile spaced longlines set up the Bay and each Arm.

     Access Constraints(1.7): 
       Some Glacier Bay Ecosystem Project data sets may contain 
       data with access constraints.  Such areas include sensitive 
       information on the locations of endangered species or 
       cultural artifacts and data which contain private or 
       confidential information. Data sets which are not complete 
       may have access constraints until completion. Please 
       contact the Information Management Systems Administrator at 
       the Glacier Bay Field Station for details on any access 
       constraints.
     Use Constraints(1.8): 
       Some Glacier Bay Ecosystem Project data sets may contain 
       data with use constraints.  Such areas include sensitive 
       information on the locations of endangered species or 
       cultural artifacts and data which contain private or 
       confidential information. In addition some data sets are 
       collaborative efforts with outside researchers and 
       represent unpublished work for which we request respect for 
       intellectual property rights.  Some data sets are not 
       complete and if access is given the use may be restricted 
       until completion. Please contact the Information Management 
       Systems Administrator at the Glacier Bay Field Station for 
       details on any use constraints.

Data Quality Information

  Attribute Accuracy:
     Attribute Accuracy Report(2.1.1): 
       Data prior to 1994 has a estimated locational error of 
       about 100 meters. Data from 1994 has a locational error of 
       approximately 20 meters.
     Completeness Report(2.3): 
       1995 data not entered. Data set is complete for 1992-1993. 

Lineage

  Process Step:
     Process Description(2.5.2.1): 
       Capture locations were determined before 1994 by the use of 
       GPS fixes at the point the fish was taken from the water on 
       long-lines.  From 1994 the position of the hook at the 
       setting of the long-line was determined by recording with 
       GPS the time and track line (with multiple fixes) of the 
       set and then calculating the position of each numbered 
       hook. This results in capture fixes being of much greater 
       accuracy.
Release locations were determined with the use 
       of GPS fixes at the release site.

     Title(1.1): 
       Tracklines of the research longlines
     Abstract(1.2.1): 
       This dataset contains information on the tracklines that 
       were followed while setting research long-lines for Pacific 
       halibut at Glacier Bay National Park.
     Purpose(1.2.2): 
       These data were collected as part of an effort to quantify 
       the ecosystem level effects of the commercial harvest of 
       halibut as part of a 10 year study to evaluate the 
       commercial harvest of halibut in Glacier Bay National Park. 
       Knowledge of the effects of commercial fishing on CPUE,  
       habitat selection, the effects of recent glaciation and 
       oceanographic conditions on halibut and other ground fish 
       distribution  and general population parameters was lacking 
       in Glacier Bay and was determined to be necessary to 
       evaluate what effects the commercial harvest has on the 
       Glacier Bay Ecosystem.

Spatial Domain
     Description of Geographic Extent(1.5.0): 
       Sets were placed in Glacier Bay and Icy straits at the 
       mouth of Glacier Bay. A large stratified- random sample  
       was set between Willoughby/Drake Islands and the Marble 
       Islands.  In addition there are  a series of 4 nautical 
       mile spaced longlines set up the Bay and each Arm.

     Access Constraints(1.7): 
       Some Glacier Bay Ecosystem Project data sets may contain 
       data with access constraints.  Such areas include sensitive 
       information on the locations of endangered species or 
       cultural artifacts and data which contain private or 
       confidential information. Data sets which are not complete 
       may have access constraints until completion. Please 
       contact the Information Management Systems Administrator at 
       the Glacier Bay Field Station for details on any access 
       constraints.
     Use Constraints(1.8):

Data Quality Information

  Attribute Accuracy:
     Attribute Accuracy Report(2.1.1): 
       Data prior to 1994 has a estimated locational error of 
       about 100 meters. Data from 1994 has a locational error of 
       approximately 20 meters.
     Completeness Report(2.3): 
       1995 data not entered. Data set is complete for 1992-1993. 

Lineage

  Process Step:
     Process Description(2.5.2.1): 
       From 1994 the position of the hook at the setting of the 
       long-line was determined by recording with GPS the time and 
       track line (with multiple fixes) of the set and then 
       calculating the position of each numbered hook. This 
       results in capture fixes being of much greater 
       accuracy.
Release locations were determined with the use 
       of GPS fixes at the release site.

       Recapture database of halibut caught on GLBA research 
       long-lines
     Abstract(1.2.1): 
       This dataset contains information the recapture of 
       wire-tagged halibut from research long-lines set in Glacier 
       Bay National Park.  Part of the data is from returns to the 
       IPHC and part from returns that occurred first to NBS 
       personnel and were then passed onto the IPHC.  The amount of 
       ancillary data t varies with who the fish were returned to 
       and what could be obtained from the fishermen who caught 
       the halibut.
     Purpose(1.2.2): 
       These data were collected as part of an effort to quantify 
       the ecosystem level effects of the commercial harvest of 
       halibut as part of a 10 year study to evaluate the 
       commercial harvest of halibut in Glacier Bay National Park. 
       Knowledge of the effects of commercial fishing on CPUE,  
       habitat selection, the effects of recent glaciation and 
       oceanographic conditions on halibut and other ground fish 
       distribution  and general population parameters was lacking 
       in Glacier Bay and was determined to be necessary to 
       evaluate what effects the commercial harvest has on the 
       Glacier Bay Ecosystem.
