Fish Nutritional Quality, Biomarkers, Communities, and Environmental Data from the Nearshore Beaufort Sea, Alaska, 2021-2023
February 18, 2025
This data release contains information derived from fishing efforts and sampled fish from the nearshore Beaufort Sea, Alaska, 2021-2023, as part of a study investigating red-throated loon productivity and diet. The datasets include six tables comprising 1) catch per unit effort (CPUE) data, 2) field-measured lengths of fish (mm), 3) the energy density (kJ/g) and whole-body energy (kJ) of 16 species of forage-sized fish (≤200 mm), 4) taxonomic details of captured fish, 5) temperature (°C), raw electrical conductivity (μS/cm), and salinity (psu) as recorded by data loggers, and 6) the specifications of surface trawl fishing sets.

Energetic value of Arctic forage-sized fish with implications for a nearshore seabird predator Energetic value of Arctic forage-sized fish with implications for a nearshore seabird predator
Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida, also called polar cod) are considered the single most important Arctic forage fish due to their high abundance and nutritional quality. Because Arctic cod are strongly ice associated and prefer colder waters, their frequency in coastal waters has declined with warming, decreasing availability to nearshore predators. To consider the nutritional quality of...
