Inshore Catch Data for Capelin (Mallotus villosus) in the Gulf of Alaska 1996-2017
February 8, 2020
These data consist of larval (less than 60 mm) and age-1+ (greater than 60 mm) Capelin CPUE (Catch per unit effort) from various catch efforts throughout the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) from 1996 - 2017. The dataset contains the following information: fishing gear type, date, time, catch location (latitude and longitude), tow distance, number of capelin caught, and CPUE for capelin greater than and less than 60 millimeters. Gear types include beach seines and trawls.

Pacific capelin Mallotus catervarius are planktivorous, small pelagic fish that serve an intermediate trophic role in marine food webs. Due to the lack of a directed fishery or monitoring of capelin in the Northeast Pacific, there is limited information on their distribution and abundance, and how spatio-temporal fluctuations in capelin density affects their availability as prey.
