Chris Wilson reported on the results of the RACE spring pollock hydroacoustic survey of Shelikof Strait during March 2002. The cruise was remarkable for not finding significant abundance of adult pollock in the NE section of the strait. Although adult fish were found in the SW area, the numbers were significantly down from previous years. Discussion followed as to the reasons for the decreased numbers: Was it was the wrong time to sample? Was there a sampling bias due to selection of sample location? Were the fish just some place else?NEXT MEETING
