Description

This is a notice of intent to solicit from a single source for the USGS. The Alaska Science Center (ASC) has the need for forage fish data to continue long term monitoring time series in Prince William Sound, Alaska. The US Geological Survey (USGS) intends to negotiate a purchase order with Prince William Sound Science Center to forage fish data to continue long term monitoring time series in Prince William Sound, Alaska. Prince William Sound Science Center is the only known source that has the required specifications that meets the government's minimum needs.The USGS Alaska Science Center (ASC) Seabird and Forage Fish Program has been leading forage fish monitoring as part of the Gulf Watch Alaska (GWA) long-term monitoring program in Prince William Sound (PWS), Alaska since 2012. The goals of the GWA forage fish monitoring project are to provide information on the population trends of forage species in the region and to better understand how underlying predator-prey interactions influence recovering species and pelagic ecology within PWS and the GOA. Field work includes aerial-directed fish school sampling from a vessel, capture of forage fish to verify species/age class, and deploying multiple gear types (e.g., purse seine, beach seine, gill net, underwater video, dip net, line and hook) to collect forage fish samples for estimation of structure, size distribution, and energy density. Maintaining these datasets is important to resource managers as these data provide some of the only information about interannual changes in key prey species for marine predators such as commercial fish, marine birds, and whales in the northern GOA.The vendor will collect spawning capelin from Port Etches and Pacific sand lance from Middle Ground Shoal or Naked Island by deploying a variety of specialized fishing gear. Up to 200 samples of each species will be collected if possible and shipped frozen to the researchers at USGS Alaska Science Center who will then proc...
