Variation in the Abundance of Arctic Cisco in the Colville River. Volume 3: Data Manual and Digital Images; Data manual

摘要

The purpose of this study is to evaluate existing data to increase scientific understanding of the variability in abundance of Arctic cisco ('Coregonus autumnalis') in the Colville River. The information is needed to support environmental risk assessments, Environmental Impact Statements for potential oil and gas leasing, and for other post-leasing decisions documents in the Beaufort Sea Planning Area. This database gathers existing appropriate biotic and abiotic multidisciplinary data relevant to Arctic cisco abundance in the Colville River. Data gathered included fisheries research conducted on the Colville Delta, in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), in Prudhoe Bay, and in the Peel River Canada as well as oilfield related development activities, oceanographic, hydrographic, and weather data.
