This database contains weekly reports submitted by herring vessels with IVR reporting requirements.

This database contains weekly reports submitted by tilefish vessels with IVR reporting requirements.

The Biological Sampling Database (BSD) is an Oracle relational database that is maintained at the NMFS Panama City Laboratory and NOAA NMFS Beaufort Laboratory. Data set includes port samples of reef fish species collected from commercial and recreational fishery landings in the U.S. South Atlantic (NC - FL Keys). The data set serves as an inventory of samples stored at the NMFS Beaufort Laboratory as well as final processed data. Information that may be inlcuded for each sample is trip level information, species, size meansurements, age, sex and reproductive data.

Calibrated, integrated, and averaged acoustics data, including estimates of krill (Euphausia superba) biomass density, collected around Elephant Island, the South Shetland Islands, and the Antarctic Peninsula by the U.S. AMLR Program. Data are integrated over depths from about 10-15m down to the bottom or 250m (whichever is shallower) and averaged over 1-nmi intervals.

Zooplankton research in the US AMLR Program focuses on the link between prey production, availability, and climate variability in relation to predator and fishery demands. Annual studies include estimates of krill abundance, and experiments to develop and enhance hydro-acoustic methodologies. Long-term objectives include quantifying the inter-annual and decadal mesoscale (10's to 100's of kilometers) variability in water mass structure, phytoplankton biomass and productivity, and zooplankton (especially krill) associated with potential basin scale climate forcing.

At-sea distribution and density of marine mammals and seabirds. Seabird and
marine mammal observations were collected from research vessels during transits between stations, to and from port of calls, etc.

Dataset contains continuous underway measurements of ship’s position, sea surface temperature, salinity, turbidity, fluorescence, air temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity, plus wind speed and direction. These data are part of a long term ecosystem project centered on the South Shetland Islands of the Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica. The datasets incorporated into this archive have been collected by researchers affiliated with the U.S.

This data set is derived from complementary projects operated in western and southwestern Puerto Rico.

This database contains the primary data reported on the vessel trip reports by vessel operators.

Currently ~2,400 Hawaiian monk seal specimens have been analyzed genetically, providing genotypes at 18 microsatellite loci. These data are organized by individual, identified by the Seal ID number. An additional dataset is being generated that will expand these genotypes by another 30 loci.
