Description: This survey points layer provides information on both the locations where species are caught in several NOAA Fisheries surveys and the amount (i.e., biomass weight catch per unit effort, standardized to kg/ha) of each species that was caught at each location. Information on species distributions is of paramount importance for understanding and preparing for climate-change impacts, and plays a key role in climate-ready fisheries management.
