The top five maximum ages encountered by the AFSC Age and Growth Program for collections aged between 1990 and 2020 except Pacific cod, which is limited to collections read after 2000.

Maximum age data is from ages generated between 1990 and 2020 except Pacific cod, which is limited to collections read after 2000.

Natural mortality (M) is estimated using the method outlined by Hoenig (1983) which uses maximum age to estimate instantaneous mortality.

Experimental apparent optical properties data product for the eastern Bering Sea

Description:
This zip file contains a sample of an experimental apparent optical properties data product for the eastern Bering Sea, derived from light measurements collected during a 2004 bottom-trawl survey conducted by NMFS/NOAA. The full experimental data product includes
