| Summary: | The goal of the Arctic IERP is to better understand the mechanisms and processes that structure the Arctic marine ecosystem and influence the distribution, life history, and interactions of biological communities in the Chukchi Sea. NPRB is interested in research that addresses phenology and the alignment in space and time of primary production, secondary producers, and upper trophic level predators. This specific dataset contains data on the abundance and biomass of epifauna captured with a plumb-staff beam trawl during the ASGARD 2018 research cruise on R/V Sikuliaq. The data here contain georeferenced information on epifaunal invertebrate species, their taxonomic classification, as well as their abundance and biomass (as catch per unit effort). Data are presented in csv format.
