EK500 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During DE9909

NEFSC 1999 Atlantic Herring Acoustic/Midwater Trawl Survey (DE9909, EK500). The NEFSC Atlantic herring acoustic survey is a fisheries independent survey that provides scientific data for Atlantic herring assessments in the U.S. mid-Atlantic and New England regions. The survey is conducted in the fall on pre-spawning and spawning herring primarily in the Georges Bank region, but with other historical sites in the Gulf of Maine surveyed. The survey is a systematic design with parallel transects oriented perpendicular to bathymetric features. Midwater trawl sites are selected on an ad hoc basis to sample acoustic backscatter attributed to Atlantic herring as well as backscatter by other organisms. The primary gear is multifrequency Simrad echosounders, but midwater trawl, CTD, and a host of other scientific sensor data are collected ancillary to the acoustic data.

EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During HB1206

NEFSC 2012 Fall Bottom Trawl Survey (HB1206, EK60). The NEFSC bottom trawl survey is a fisheries independent, multi-species survey that provides the primary scientific data for fisheries assessments in the U.S. mid-Atlantic and New England regions. Two bottom trawl surveys are conducted each year, one in the spring and one in the autumn. The survey is a standardized, stratified random design, with stratification based on bathymetry and multiple trawl sites within each stratum. Trawl sites are selected randomly, but the overall ship path is south to north. The survey covers the continental shelf and U.S. exclusive economic zone (EEZ) from Cape Hatteras, North Carolina into the Canadian EEZ. The primary gear is a bottom trawl, with CTD, multifrequency echosounder, and a host of other scientific sensor data collected ancillary to the bottom trawl catches.

EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During AMLR2011

US AMLR Program 2011 Austral Summer Vessel Survey (AMLR2011, EK60). The 2010/11 U.S. Antarctic Marine Living Resources (U.S. AMLR) field season continues a long-term series of studies of the Antarctic Peninsula ecosystem, designed to provide scientific support for the conservation and management of Antarctic marine fisheries as outlined by the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR). The U.S. AMLR Program is managed by NOAA Fisheries' Antarctic Ecosystem Research Division (AERD) of the Southwest Fisheries Science Center. 

The research completed in the field is used to describe the Antarctic ecosystem as a function of the relationships among Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), their predators, 
and the physical and biological oceanographic conditions of Antarctic waters. Two working hypotheses form the basis of research conducted by the U.S. AMLR Program: 

1) krill predators respond to changes in the availability of their food source, and 

2) the distribution of krill is affected by both physical and biological aspects of their habitat.

The primary objectives of the bioacoustic survey were to map the meso-scale dispersion of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) in the vicinity of the South Shetland Islands and to determine their association with predator foraging patterns, water mass boundaries, spatial patterns of primary productivity, and bathymetry. In addition, efforts were made to map the distribution of myctophids and to determine their relationship with water mass boundaries and zooplankton distribution.

EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During SE1107

Comparison of fishery-independent methods for sampling Main Hawaiian Islands Bottomfish assemblages (SE1107, EK60). Optical, active acoustics, and research fishing data on bottomfish abundance and biomass were collected over predetermined grids to compare results of methodologies.  Optical data were collected using a baited stationary Botcam, a TOAD (tethered optical assessment device) camera, and an AUV.  Acoustics data were collected using a narrow-beam EK60 system operating at 38, 70, and 120 kHz frequencies.  Research fishing was conducted using hook-and-line on small boats.  Simultaneous AUV and active acoustics were operated to assess whether AUV can be used to optically validate acoustic data.  Bottomfishing off the Sette were conducted simultaneously with acoustics data collection for groundtruthing of acoustics data.

ME70 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During DY1307

Gulf of Alaska Acoustic-Trawl Survey of Walleye Pollock (DY1307, ME70). The Midwater Assessment and Conservation Engineering (MACE) program of NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service, Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC) conducted an acoustic-trawl (AT) stock assessment survey in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) during late spring and summer of 2013 to estimate the distribution and abundance of walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus). The survey area included the GOA shelf from the Islands of the Four Mountains to Yakutat Bay including many associated bays and troughs at depths between 50 and 1,000 meters (June 8 to August 9, 2013). The survey was conducted aboard NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson, a 64 meter stern trawler equipped with acoustic and oceanographic instrumentation, and biological sampling capabilities. The primary instrumentation for the survey was a Simrad EK60 split-beam echosounder system utilizing five frequencies (18, 38, 70, 120, and 200 kHz) and a Simrad ME70 multibeam echosounder, with the ME70 trigger synchronized to the EK60 system.

EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During DY0912

Assessment of Rockfish Species in Untrawlable Habitat in the Gulf of Alaska (DY0912, EK60). The Midwater Assessment and Conservation Engineering (MACE) program of NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC) conducted an assessment of northern rockfish (Sebastes polyspinis) and dusky rockfish (Sebastes variabilis) in untrawlable habitat areas of the Gulf of Alaska using advanced acoustics, optical, and trawl technologies, 3-13 October 2009. The primary survey site was a shallow bank along the GOA shelf break known as Snakehead. The survey was conducted aboard NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson, a 64 meter stern trawler equipped with acoustic and oceanographic instrumentation. The primary acoustic instruments for this survey were the Simrad EK60 split beam echosounder and the Simrad ME70 multibeam echosounder. The vessel departed Dutch Harbor, Alaska on 3 October and ended the cruise on 13 October in Kodiak, Alaska. The survey was conducted 4-12 October with a weather delay on 10 October.

EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During 2016-04-CS04-C02-USFCMS

C-SCAMP Cruise Report #3 - C-BASS Cruise Report - 2016-04-CS04-C02 - RV Weatherbird II - April 07-12, 2016 (EK60). The Camera-Based Assessment Survey System (C-BASS) was used to image new areas around Madison-Swanson Marine Protected Area (MPA) located in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico (on the west Florida shelf) and also further the effort of having a long time series of transects in the MPA itself with the reef and ledge areas. In total 19h13m hours of video were collected along 158 km of transects.

Multibeam bathymetry data were collected to fill in gaps not covered by the previous mapping efforts of USF and USGS. This resulted in a complete high-resolution bathymetric map of the Madison-Swanson MPA.
Additionally, several promising areas were identified for future mapping and video assessment efforts. These areas were identified via prospecting lines performed during transit to and from the primary survey
region at Madison-Swanson.. Partially successful ping synchronization between the Seabat 7125 and EK60 echosounders was also achieved during this cruise.

The POS MV attitude data (pitch, roll and heave) were integrated into the EK60 to improve the quality of he data. A successful calibration of the EK60 was completed in Tampa Bay while the RV Weatherbird II was
anchored in approximately 8 meters (m) of water.

In summary, C-BASS data collection was less than anticipated due to a technical issue beyond in-situ repairs, but of no long term consequence to the project. However, the use of the multi-beam system went
far beyond what was anticipated and provided valuable benefit to the research community by completing a section within the Madison Swanson MPA where there has existed a mapping gap for several years. This
cruise also marked the first calibration of the EK60 performed exclusively without external guidance, with members of C-SCAMP and FIO collaborating for the operation, which demonstrated that regular
calibrations can be accomplished by the team.
