Fish are typically small in the Chukchi Sea, but diversity and abundance can be high and they play important roles in linking lower trophic levels to seabirds and some mammals. Fish are collected in AMBON with a plump-staff beam trawl and identified and measured on board. Juvenile and pelagic fishes are captured with a midwater trawl.
