These data are part of the Arctic IES component of the Arctic Integrated Ecosystem Research Program (IERP), sponsored by the North Pacific Research Board (NPRB), Collaborative Alaskan Arctic Studies Program (formerly the North Slope Borough/Shell Baseline Studies Program), Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), and the Office of Naval Research Marine Mammals and Biology Program. To investigate the distribution, life history, and interactions of biological communities in the U.S. Continental Region of the NE Chukchi Sea a survey was conducted from August - September 2017. Pelagic fishes were targeted using a modified Marinovich midwater trawl. Catches were processed (see methods) and specimen were collected for additional processing.. Files included in this dataset are as follows: Midwater Catch: OS201701MidwaterCatchSummary.csv Midwater Specimen: OS201701MidwaterSpecimenCollection.csv Midwater Event Data: OS201701MidwaterEvents.csv Length measurement detailed methodology: GadidLengthConversions.pdf Species identification verification and final classification narrative: GadidGeneticReassignment.pdf
