From the transcript
So to do this, starting in 2023, we've gone out and collected fecundity samples on our setline survey. So in 2023, we specifically just targeted Biological Region 3, which is the, basically the eastern, central, and western Gulf of Alaska. In 2024, we collected samples in Biological Regions 2 and 4. Regions 2 is basically southeast Alaska down to the west coast of the US, and Biological Region 4 is the Central Aleutians towards the Bering Sea. And then in 2025, we were actually able to collect samples across all 4 biological regions on the Settling Survey, which was great.
