Summary: | These data are part of the Herring Program of the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council, project numbers 12120111-Q, 14120111-Q, and 16120111-Q, which is a multi-faceted study to determine why herring populations in Prince William Sound remain depressed since the early 1990s. As part of this effort, this dataset includes a global database of herring time series which was developed to conduct a meta-analysis investigating population collapse and recovery patterns among herring populations. Abundance and recruitment time series of various Pacific and Atlantic herring populations from 1974 to 2011 are collated into a comma-separated value (CSV) file. Catch, spawning biomass, and recruitment time series information for these various populations are also included in the file.
