Survey data comes from Northeast Fisheries Science Center's Bottom Trawl Survey. Indices are calculated using the Survdat R package. This data set covers the entire bottom trawl survey from 1963 to 2019. All calibration factors have been applied for the change from Albatross IV to Bigelow. Data from the Bigelow era (2009 - 2019) that are not converted are in a separate data set (surveyIndexHB). This data only covers the focal species of the MS Keyrun Project. For an expanded data set see surveyIndexAll.
