PROVIDE GROUNDFISH DATA FROM LARGE AND SMALL-MESH SURVEYS. THE STATE OF ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF FISH & GAME (ADF&G); HAS BEEN CONDUCTING TWO BOTTOM TRAWL SURVEYS ANNUALLY IN THE GULF OF ALASKA. THE LARGE MESH SURVEY HAS CONSISTED OF APPROXIMATELY 400 HAULS WITHIN THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN GULF OF ALASKA (GOA) FROM CAPE DOUGLAS TO THE EASTERN ALEUTIAN ISLANDS. GROUNDFISH STOCKS IN THE GOA ARE MANAGED USING STOCK ASSESSMENT DATA AND ARE COLLECTED BY THE ALASKA FISHERIES SCIENCE CENTER'S (AFSC) BIENNIAL GOA GROUNDFISH TRAWL SURVEY. THE ABUNDANCE DATA FROM THE ADF&G; TRAWL SURVEY IS CALIBRATED WITH AFSC'S BIENNIAL SURVEY. THE ADF&G; TRAWL SURVEY COMPLIMENTS THE AFSC BIENNIAL SURVEYS SINCE IT OCCURS ANNUALLY AND MAY CAPTURE SHORT-TERM TRENDS IN FISH ABUNDANCE NOT AVAILABLE FROM THE AFSC TIME SERIES. ALSO, THE ADF&G; SURVEY IS FOCUSED IN BAYS, INLETS, AND OTHER NEAR SHORE AREAS, WHEREAS THE AFSC SURVEY IS FOCUSED ON THE ENTIRE SHELF AND UPPER SLOPE.
