Purpose
|
|
In Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska there are
|
|
ongoing studies of Dungeness Crab (Cancer magister) and Pacific Halibut
|
|
(Hippoglosus stenolepis). Scientists of the United States Geological Survey
|
|
(USGS) are attempting to ascertain life history, distribution, and abundance,
|
|
and to determine the effects of commercial fishing in the park. Statistical
|
|
sampling studies suggest that seafloor characteristics and bathymetry affect the
|
|
distribution, abundance and behavior of benthic species.
|
|
The geophysical surveying done in this and previous studies will be combined
|
|
with existing population and sonic-tracking data sets as well as future sediment
|
|
sampling, scuba, submersible, and bottom video camera observations to better
|
|
understand Dungeness crab and Pacific halibut habitat relationships.
