Abstract:
This database contains ichthyoplankton data collected as part of the California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries
Investigations (CalCOFI) program and other cruises that were designed to assess the status coastal pelagic
species and the California Current ecosystem from 1951 to present. The primary data are eggs and larvae
captured in ring or bongo nets (oblique tows), Calvet or pairovet nets (vertical tows), and manta nets
(surface tows).
Purpose:
The CalCOFI program was established in 1949 to investigate factors relating to the collapse of the sardine
fishery off California, but over the years its focus has shifted to the study of the marine environment off
the coast of California and the management of its living resources.
