1 year ago Hi Dayv,
This request, and other haul-level data queries, can be fulfilled using our public-facing data portal on the Fisheries One-Stop Shop here: https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/foss/f?p=215:28
A query of the FOSS database for Sunflower Sea Star records for all AFSC surveys for all years yields the attached data (provided here in .csv and .xlsx formats). There are indeed a few records of this species from the eastern Bering Sea. Please let us know if you have questions or need additional information.

Data product requested (stratum CPUE, etc.): Raw encounter data, with GPS location, of Pycnopodia helianthoides in any and all survey efforts in Alaska you have access to. Annual effort data, by region, such that CPUE can be caclulated on a region-specific and Alaska-wide basis.
Species: Sunflower sea star Pycnopodia helianthoides
Region (GOA, AI, Bering Sea): GOA, AI, Bering Sea
Research team making the request (PI /requester name, and tag team members with GitHub accounts, or email address if requestor does not have a GitHub account. Division is nice too.): Dayv Lowry, West Coast Region, Protected Resources Division. GitHub: DrDayv13 E-mail: david.lowry@noaa.gov
We recently proposed the sunflower sea star for ESA listing throughout it's range. At the WGC in Juneau in April, Sean Rooney noted that you have records for the species in the Bering -- which is outside it's currently documented range. In order to adequately consider the best available science for the final listing decision we need to be able to show where the species has been encountered throughut Alaska, as well as describe the region-specific relative abundance. Thanks much!!
