Strait of Georgia juvenile herring survey, September 2018

A fall juvenile herring survey of the Strait of Georgia took place September 10th to 24th, 2018. This survey serves to address several questions of early herring survival, abundance, recruitment and trophodynamics. Forty-four core stations were sampled throughout the Strait of Georgia following the ten core transects that have been sampled since 1990. The survey area extends from Trincomali Channel in the south to Smelt Bay in the north. Zooplankton and physical environmental data were also collected in the study area.
