Project: Halibut Diet
Owner  : Philip N. Hooge
Created: 8/30/91 2:19:52 PM
Summary:  
     Represented here are results of studies on the diet, 
     size/age frequency, age, sex and reproductive status of  
     Pacific halibut.  These studies were begun as part of an 
     effort to quantify the ecosystem level effects of the 
     commercial harvest of halibut as part of a 10 year study to 
     evaluate the commercial harvest of halibut in Glacier Bay 
     National Park.   The studies represented here were 
     initiated to understand the ecological consequences of 
     halibut diet and to elucidate patterns of morphological, 
     size/age frequency, and reproductive parameters which could 
     provide needed data to  model the effects of commercial 
     fishing on halibut.

  Citation Information:
     Title(1.1): 
       Data on Halibut examined for stomach, morphological and 
       reproductive values
     Abstract(1.2.1): 
       This dataset contains information on Pacific halibut 
       (Hippoglossus stenolepis) processed for stomach contents, 
       morphological characteristics,  age and reproductive 
       condition which were captured in Glacier Bay National Park. 
       The primary emphasis was on the sport catch due to the 
       wider range of size frequency classes but some data from 
       the commercial harvest is included.
     Purpose(1.2.2): 
       These data were collected as part of an effort to quantify 
       the ecosystem level effects of the commercial harvest of 
       halibut as part of a 10 year study to evaluate the 
       commercial harvest of halibut in Glacier Bay National Park. 
       Knowledge of the diet, age/size frequency classes, 
       reproductive condition, and sex were lacking for halibut 
       and was determined to be necessary to evaluate what effects 
       the commercial harvest has on Glacier Bay.

     Access Constraints(1.7): 
       Some Glacier Bay Ecosystem Project data sets may contain 
       data with access constraints.  Such areas include sensitive 
       information on the locations of endangered species or 
       cultural artifacts and data which contain private or 
       confidential information. Data sets which are not complete 
       may have access constraints until completion. Please 
       contact the Information Management Systems Administrator at 
       the Glacier Bay Field Station for details on any access 
       constraints.
     Use Constraints(1.8): 
       Some Glacier Bay Ecosystem Project data sets may contain 
       data with use constraints.  Such areas include sensitive 
       information on the locations of endangered species or 
       cultural artifacts and data which contain private or 
       confidential information. In addition some data sets are 
       collaborative efforts with outside researchers and 
       represent unpublished work for which we request respect for 
       intellectual property rights.  Some data sets are not 
       complete and if access is given the use may be restricted 
       until completion. Please contact the Information Management

Lineage


  Process Step:
     Process Description(2.5.2.1): 
       Data on capture were obtained from sport or commercial 
       fisherman.  Morphological measurements were made on halibut 
       which were then processed to obtain the stomach contents, 
       sex, otolith for aging and reproductive condition.

  Citation Information:
     Title(1.1): 
       The stomach contents of Pacific halibut
     Abstract(1.2.1): 
       This dataset contains information on diet items taken from  
       Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) processed for 
       stomach contents, morphological characteristics,  age and 
       reproductive condition which were captured in Glacier Bay 
       National Park.  The primary emphasis was on the sport catch 
       due to the wider range of size frequency classes but some 
       data from the commercial harvest is included.
     Purpose(1.2.2): 
       These data were collected as part of an effort to quantify 
       the ecosystem level effects of the commercial harvest of 
       halibut as part of a 10 year study to evaluate the 
       commercial harvest of halibut in Glacier Bay National Park. 
       Knowledge of the diet, age/size frequency classes, 
       reproductive condition, and sex were lacking for halibut 
       and was determined to be necessary to evaluate what effects 
       the commercial harvest has on Glacier Bay.

     Access Constraints(1.7): 
       Some Glacier Bay Ecosystem Project data sets may contain 
       data with access constraints.  Such areas include sensitive 
       information on the locations of endangered species or 
       cultural artifacts and data which contain private or 
       confidential information. Data sets which are not complete 
       may have access constraints until completion. Please 
       contact the Information Management Systems Administrator at 
       the Glacier Bay Field Station for details on any access 
       constraints.
     Use Constraints(1.8): 
       Some Glacier Bay Ecosystem Project data sets may contain 
       data with use constraints.  Such areas include sensitive 
       information on the locations of endangered species or 
       cultural artifacts and data which contain private or 
       confidential information. In addition some data sets are 
       collaborative efforts with outside researchers and 
       represent unpublished work for which we request respect for 
       intellectual property rights.  Some data sets are not 
       complete and if access is given the use may be restricted 
       until completion. Please contact the Information Management 
       Systems Administrator at the Glacier Bay Field Station for 
       details on any use constraints.
