Pelagic fish trawled at the Barents Sea Polar Front in May 2022

This dataset is the result of pelagic trawling at the Polar Front, in the western part of the Barents Sea between in May 2022. Five pelagic trawl samples were collected with a Harstad pelagic trawl, which has an effective height of 9-11 m and width of 10-12 m when towed at ca. 3 knots. The mesh size of the inner liner of the cod end was 10 mm. The pelagic trawl was towed at ca. 3 knots for 20-30 min and abundances were standardized by converting to catch per unit effort (expressed in kilograms per cubic meter).
