    • Habitat Ecology Visual Surveys of Demersal Fishes and Habitats off California

    Metadata Updated: May 24, 2025

    Since 1992, the Habitat Ecology team has been conducting fishery independent, visual surveys of demersal fishes and associated habitats in deep water (20 to 900 meters) off California, using manned submersibles, remotely-operated vehicles, and towed cameras equipped with video cameras, lasers, and CTD. This relational database contains information on counts, sizes, species and habitat types of demersal fishes, corals, and sponges, and ___location and amount of area surveyed.
