摘要

In the summer and fall of 1981 the Northwest and Alaska Fisheries Center and the Far Seas Fisheries Research Laboratory of Japan conducted a comprehensive cooperative survey of groundfish and invertebrate resources of the eastern Bering Sea. Results of the survey are presented here in the form of a data report. For principal families and species of groundfish and invertebrates distributions are illustrated and abundance estimates given. Additionally, size composition, and where available, age composition and growth characteristics are shown for individual species.
