The geographic distribution of these salmon spans the North Pacific Ocean (NPO), where they occupy a variety of ecosystems and water masses throughout their ocean life history phase. There are significant gaps in our understanding of the mechanisms that regulate distribution, productivity/survival in coastal and high seas environments. These gaps hamper our ability to usefully inform management decisions related to fisheries and habitat across freshwater, coastal and high seas ecosystems. As a changing climate and associated anomalous events in the large marine ecosystems of the NPO progressively expose Pacific salmon to conditions that are outside the "normal" climate cycles, society will confront new resource management issues. These include the future of the cultures and subsistence lifestyles of local Indigenous communities, potential impacts of industrial activities (e.g., commercial fishing), potential changes to regional ocean carrying capacity, and resilience of North Pacific marine ecosystems. In addition, the growing threat of illegal, unreported, and unregulated high seas fishing and the recovery of salmon populations listed under the US Endangered Species Act and Canadian Species at Risk Act has increased the need for timely advice about salmon distribution. An international effort is required to detect and monitor changes in salmon and their ecosystem because stocks from all major salmon States of origin are distributed in the NPO. Salmon originate in producer nations rivers migrate through the exclusive economic zones of coastal states and intermingle in the high seas. In response to this need, the NPAFC, with partners and collaborating scientists in academia, NGOs and the private sector, is conducting an ambitious high seas research expedition with up to five research vessels surveying the full breadth of the NPO in late winter 2022. The expedition will test a collaborative research framework to better understand the mechanisms and processes that regulate the distribution and abundance of Pacific salmon and steelhead trout; to promote sustainable populations of anadromous populations in the NPO; to allow for better forecasts of salmon production trends in the future; and to enhance the sustainable fisheries management, food security, and economic security in salmon States. Our key methodological approach is to conduct an international survey of salmon and their ecosystems in the offshore regions of the NPO by deploying survey vessels at key times and areas to provide a seasonal picture of the distribution, migration and ecology of salmon in the high seas. This information will be connected to survey data (past and present) from NPAFC member countries conducting integrated ecosystem research within their Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) and previous international salmon research in the high seas. Together, these surveys provide a unique opportunity for research towards conservation and management of Pacific salmon. This effort builds on decades of high seas trawl surveys by the Russian Federation and other countries in the NPO and successful international research endeavors by the NPAFC and its precursor the International North Pacific Fisheries Commission (INPFC), such as the Bering Aleutian Salmon International Survey (BASIS; NPAFC Doc. 579 Rev 2). Two recent winter surveys to the Gulf of Alaska in 2019 and 2020, which were privately organized by Dr. Dick Beamish and Dr. Brian Riddell, form the proof of concept and provide baseline data comparable to this larger scale survey. The organization and operation of the first expedition was highly supported by the NPAFC Secretariat staff. The project is a Signature Project within the NPAFCs five-year International Year of the Salmon initiative (20182022), an effort dedicated to set the conditions supporting the resilience of salmon and people in a rapidly changing world. Climate change is exposing Pacific salmon to conditions outside of past norms and there are significant gaps in our understanding of expected outcomes, especially during their migrations through the North Pacific Ocean. In response to this need, the North Pacific Anadromous Fish Commission (NPAFC), with partners in government, academia, NGOs, and the private sector, will conduct an ambitious high seas research expedition with up to four vessels (three trawlers, one gillnet vessel) to survey the full breadth of the North Pacific Ocean in late winter 2022. The overall objective of the expedition is to demonstrate the utility of an international pan-Pacific winter ecosystem survey to understand how increasingly extreme climate variability in the North Pacific Ocean and the associated changes in the physical environment influence the abundance, distribution, migration, growth, fitness and survival of Pacific salmon and surrounding species. The research will build upon past marine surveys by NPAFC member countries as well as the 2019 and 2020 International Gulf of Alaska Expeditions and is a signature project of the NPAFC’s International Year of the Salmon initiative (2018–2022). This document outlines the planned surveys and protocols that will be used on each of the vessels and was developed by a team consisting of experts from NPAFC member countries. A wide array of data and samples will be collected to study the ecology of salmon wintering in the North Pacific Ocean and all data will be made publicly available. completed NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Water Column Sonar Data Manager (303) 497-4742 325 Broadway, Mail Code E/NE42 Boulder CO 80305-3328 USA wcd.info@noaa.gov pointOfContact notPlanned Earth Science > Oceans > Ocean Acoustics > Acoustic Scattering Earth Science > Oceans > Aquatic Sciences > Fisheries Earth Science > Oceans > Ocean Acoustics Earth Science > Biosphere > Ecosystems > Marine Ecosystems > Pelagic Earth Science > Biosphere > Ecosystems > Marine Ecosystems Earth Science > Biosphere > Ecosystems > Marine Ecosystems > Benthic Earth Science > Biosphere > Ecosystems > Aquatic Ecosystems Earth Science > Oceans > Bathymetry/Seafloor Topography > Bathymetry Earth Science > Oceans > Bathymetry/Seafloor Topography > Seafloor Topography theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 2020-01-09 publication 9.1 NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Earth Science Data and Information System https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/learn/find-data/idn/gcmd-keywords Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keywords The information provided on this page seeks to define how the GCMD Keywords are structured, used and accessed.

Calibrations were not completed on the Northwest Explorer. This needs to be identified in the limitations of these data. I believe this means that the data will be restricted to qualitative interpretations (relative vertical distribution of salmon, qualitative description of the deep scattering layer, etc.) rather than quantitative assessments of biomass. Acoustic calibrations require a full day of survey operations with specialized equipment and a trained acoustician.
