    • Continuous Underway Fish-Egg Sampler (CUFES) Database

    Metadata Updated: May 24, 2025

    Pelagic eggs collected using the CUFES during cruises conducted by the SWFSC Fisheries Resources Division from 1996 to present. Data are typically collected every 30 min while the ship is underway. Eggs are identified as Pacific sardine, northern anchovy, jack mackerel, hake, squid, or other fish eggs. Some additional species identifications have been noted in the comments.
