Study History: Project 320-H received funding in 5 consecutive fiscal years beginning in FY 94 and concluding in FY 98 to investigate the role of zooplankton in processes influencing the survival of juvenile pink salmon and herring; FY 99 was designated a close-out year. Project H was a core component of the larger Sound Ecosystem Assessment (SEA) program. Zooplankton serves as food for many fish, bird and marine mammal stocks. SEA investigated its role as forage for juvenile fishes including pink salmon and herring, and also as alternative prey for predators that also consume juvenile pink salmon and herring in seasonally varying complex food webs. Previous annual reports of project 320-H appear in the integrated SEA report series for FY 94, FY 95, FY 96 and FY 97. This final report includes work completed in FY 98. These data do not include latitude and longitude coordinates but general approximations can be derived from attached maps. The data for this project was pulled from the UAF School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences public data portal at the following URL: http://www.sfos.uaf.edu/dm/ims-data-archive/DataBase/ZOOPLANKTON/PWS-SEA/. This URL was graciously provided by Chirk Chu. Unfortunately the lat/lon information for the stations could not be found except for station hx192. Publications: Cooney, R.T. 1999.
