attribute NC_GLOBAL summary String >Since 1992, the Southwest Fisheries Science Center’s Habitat and Groundfish
Ecology team has conducted visual surveys using submersible vehicles to quantify demersal
fish communities in deep seafloor habitats that are typically inaccessible to bottom trawls.
Data are collected from strip transects recorded with video and still cameras. To date, this
georeferenced dataset contains 460,000 individual fishes and 201 taxa, including 242,000
rockfishes (genus Sebastes) comprising 55 species, recorded from more than 2,000 transects
at depths 25 – 1,200 meters, primarily off California. Other data include estimated fish total
lengths, habitat, and in situ depth and temperature. The data have applications for a variety
of research topics, including ecology, distribution modeling, essential fish habitat, and stock
assessment. Videos from the surveys are available for download in mp4 format and
searchable by location, depth, species observed, and other factors.

This project was born out of a need to collect habitat-specific information on
rockfish abundance and ecology that cannot be obtained by traditional survey methods,
such as bottom trawling.
