MonitoringLocationDescriptionText Site 0025 was located in Traders Cove on the SW portion of Umnak Island. At a depth of 36 ft. the substrate was boulders and bedrock. A sparse surface canopy of Nereocystis was present. The overstory of brown (Laminaria bongardiana, L. yezoensis, L. longipes, Agarum sp., and Nereocystis luetkeana) and red algae (Neoptilota asplenioides, Odonthalia sp., and Lithothamnion sp.) was dense. That coupled with considerable swell made sampling more difficult. The tiny bivalve Musculus discors was commonly found on the brown algae. Few fishes were seen, except for a couple of red Irish lord, Hemilepidotus hemilepidotus. Bottom visibility was only about 20 ft. Bottom temperature was 7.5 C.
