<div><p>The OCC/GLOBEC survey occurred along the coastal waters of the Gulf of Alaska and in Shelikof Strait, AK during 2001-2004. Transects sampled during the survey were perpendicular to shore and extended from nearshore across the continental shelf to oceanic waters beyond the 200-m shelf break. The survey was conducted aboard the contract fishing vessel F/V <em>Great Pacific</em> during 2001-2002 and 2004, and aboard NOAA Ship <em>Miller Freeman</em> during 2003.</p>
<p>Fish samples were collected in a 198-m long mid-water rope trawl with hexagonal mesh wings and body, and a 1.2-cm mesh liner in the codend. The rope trawl was towed at 6.5 to 9.3 km • hour-1, at or near surface, and had a typical spread of 40-m horizontally and 15-m vertically. All tows lasted 30 minutes and covered 2.8 to 4.6 km, and sampling was done during daylight hours; however, tows occurred during night as part of a 24-hour repeat sampling of a single station for one day during 2001 and 2003.</p>
<p>Once the net was hauled aboard, salmon and other fishes were sorted by species and counted. Standard biological measurements including fork length, body weight, and sex were taken from sub-samples of all salmon species. Sub-samples of juvenile pink (<em>Oncorhynchus gorbuscha</em>), chum (<em>O. keta</em>), and sockeye (<em>O. nerka</em>) salmon were frozen whole for laboratory analyses of food habits, otolith hatchery thermal marks (pink and chum salmon), and genetic analysis (chum salmon).</p>
<p>Plankton samples were collected using a 1-m2 Tucker trawl fitted with a 505-um mesh net that was towed near surface (approximately 1 knot) for 5 minutes (2001-2003 surveys). During 2004, plankton samples were collected using a WP-2 net fitted with a 253-um mesh net that was deployed vertically to a depth of 100-m depth. The volume of water filtered by the net was estimated using flow meters. Plankton samples were transferred into vials, preserved in 5% formalin onboard the ship, and stored until a laboratory analysis was completed.</p></div>

<p><strong>GLOBEC 2000: Gulf of Alaska Long-Term Observation Program</strong><br /><em>T. Weingartner, L. Haldorson, R. Hopcroft, K. Coyle, T. E. Whitledge (all at University of Alaska, Fairbanks), T. Royer (Old Dominion University)</em></p>
<p>This project is to conduct the Gulf of Alaska Long-Term Observation Program (GOA-LTOP) as part of Phase II of the Northeast Pacific (NEP) GLOBEC program. The GOA shelf supports a rich ecosystem that includes many commercially important fisheries. The basis for this productivity is enigmatic for the GOA shelf is deep, forced by downwelling-favorable winds, and fed by a massive nutrient-poor coastal freshwater discharge. Both the winds and the freshwater discharge are intimately linked to the strength and position of the Aleutian Low. The GOA ecosystem experiences substantial physical and biological changes on decadal and interannual time scales. Although some of these changes are correlated with various climatic indices a mechanistic understanding of climate change and ecosystem response is unavailable. The generic goal of this LTOP is to understand and quantify temporal (seasonal and interannual) and spatial (cross- and along-shelf) variations in the thermohaline, chemical, and biological properties and relationships of this shelf. Our proposal supports GLOBEC goals that will help: 1) retrospective studies interpret historical data, 2) design a cost-effective long-term monitoring program, 3) provide the seasonal and interannual context for concurrent mesoscale and process studies, and 4) provide boundary conditions and data sets for model evaluation. This 5-year project entails 4 field years and a fifth year for data analyses and synthesis. The field effort involves seven, 9-day interdisciplinary cruises/year in the northern GOA. The study area encompasses the 220-km long, Seward Line (sampled in the 1970s) that extends across the shelf and slope and high resolution sampling of the Alaska Coastal Current (ACC), upstream, downstream, and within Prince William Sound. The ACC is an important shelf habitat for yoy salmon migrating from nursery areas in the sound and into the GOA. The sampling effort (Table A) is year-round and motivated by seasonally significant physical and biological events affecting yoy pink salmon.</p>

<p>The sampling protocol follows GLOBEC guidelines and uses gear types and techniques similar to those in the Oregon LTOP that is also a part of the NEP-GLOBEC program. Most of the research will be conducted from the R/V <em>Alpha Helix</em>. Fish sampling will be done from a chartered trawler in July, August, and October. Both vessels will work together during these cruises so that the fishing charter can verify fish targets detected on the acoustics array towed from the <em>Alpha Helix</em>.</p>
