This project sought to investigate the population biology of the commercially important species, primarily crustaceans and finfish, caught in the North West Slope Trawl Fishery (NWSTF) and Western Deep Water Trawl Fishery (WDWTF).
This work aimed to measure standing stocks, growth rates, natural mortality rates, and reproductive periodicity, to enable estimation of potential yields from the fishery.
The logbook program and database, for the collection, storage and retrieval of information on catches by commercial vessels, was completed as planned.
