Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Distribution of ichthyoplankton collected using various net types from multiple platforms in the North Pacific Ocean for the California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations (CalCOFI) program from 1951-10-1 to 2017-04-22 (NCEI Accession 0171597)

This dataset includes data from the CalCOFI ichthyoplankton database and data from publicly available ERDDAP servers hosted at Southwest Fisheries Science Center. The data include fish species occurrence and distribution, identification and developmental staging of fish and egg stages as well as information about cruises, instruments and platforms used in the CalCOFI program from 1951-10-01 to 2017-04-22. The ERDDAP data is available in CSV format. The raw files were extracted from the SWFSC CalCOFI database and includes documentation that explains each table and how to reconstruct the database schema.
