Recruitment of Juvenile Flatfishes in Alaska: Habitat Preference Near KodiakIsland. Volume 2. Final Study Report: Data Appendices

摘要

The habitat, distribution and abundance of juvenile flatfishes within the inshorewaters of the Kodiak Archipelago, Alaska are examined during this ongoing interannual study. The overall objectives of this project are to (1) identify nursery grounds for juvenile flatfishes, (2) characterize those areas according to physical and biological parameters, and (3) develop indices of relative abundance for as many species as the data allow. We describe distribution for ages -0 and -1 flatfishes of each species versus location, depth, distance within (+) or outside (-) a bay, temperature, salinity, sediment type, percents gravel, sand, mud, organic content and carbonate content in the substrate, tidal stage and sunrise.
