The data were collected in support of research primarily focused on assessing outmigration timing, diets, and energetic condition of juvenile Chinook salmon in the Yukon River and its estuary. This research was jointly funded by the Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim Sustainable Salmon Initiative (AYKSSI), which provided overall support for the entire research project, and the North Pacific Research Board (NPRB), which provided supplemental funding to support data collection of data in the offshore estuary of the Yukon River plume. The data were collected during research cruises in June, July and August of both 2014 and 2015. Data include biological and physical data from stations located on five transects set perpendicular to the Yukon Delta. Each transect has stations located at or near the 45ft, 35ft and 25ft depth contours. Data were submitted as a Microsoft Access database file (ACCDB). Tables from this database were extracted for archiving as CSV files by Axiom Data Science. This dataset includes the following files: NPRB_1308_Data_Catch.csv, NPRB_1308_Data_CTD.csv, NPRB_1308_Data_Event.csv, NPRB_1308_Data_Site.csv, NPRB_1308_Lookup_Family.csv, NPRB_1308_Lookup_SpeciesCodes.csv. This dataset was generated under NPRB project 1308.
