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 Bigelow era of the bottom trawl survey from 2009 to 2019. No calibration factors have been applied for the change from Albatross IV to Bigelow. Data from the Albatross era (1968 - 2008) are in a separate data set (surveyIndexA4). This data only covers the focal species of the MS Keyrun Project. For an expanded data set see surveyIndexHBAll.
