EK500 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During DE9903

NEFSC Small Pelagics Acoustic/Midwater Trawl Survey (DE9903, EK500). The small pelagics cruise will map the distribution of small pelagic species such as Atlantic mackerel, Atlantic herring, silver hake, butterfish, and squid, in the mid-Atlantic and Gulf of Maine regions of the northeast US. Acoustic data are the primary data and midwater trawl sites are selected on an ad hoc basis to sample acoustic backscatter attributed to small pelagic species. 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.

ME70 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During DY1001

Shumagin Islands Acoustic-Trawl Survey of Walleye Pollock (DY1001, ME70). The Midwater Assessment and Conservation Engineering (MACE) program of the Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC; NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service) conducted an acoustic-trawl (AT) stock assessment survey in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) during late winter of 2010 to estimate the distribution and abundance of walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus). The survey was conducted between 22 February and 9 March, 2010, and included the Shumagin Islands, Sanak Trough, Morzhovoi Bay, Kenai Peninsula bays, Prince William Sound, and Marmot Bay.  The survey was conducted onboard NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson, a 64 meter stern trawler equipped with acoustic and oceanographic instrumentation in addition to 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 transmit pulse synchronized to the EK60 system. This data set includes Kongsberg Simrad ME70 raw multibeam data, Seabird CTD data, and ship's navigation/oceanographic/meterological sensor data.

EK500 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During MF0509

The 2005 Joint U.S.-Canada Integrated Acoustic and Trawl Survey of Pacific Hake (Merluccius productus) (MF0509, EK500). Scientists from the Fishery Resource Analysis and Monitoring (FRAM) division at the NOAA Fisheries Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) and the Pacific region of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) conducted the Joint 2005 Integrated Acoustic Survey (IAT) survey aboard the NOAA Ship Miller Freeman, a stern trawler equipped for fisheries and oceanographic research.  Pacific Hake (Merluccius productus) aggregations were targeted along the continental shelf and upper slope of the entire survey area. 

Hake populations were surveyed along a series of parallel line transects that in general were oriented east-west, spaced at an interval of 10 nmi apart, and traversed sequentially in alternating directions; The survey began from north of Point Piedras Blancas, CA (35.7Â°N) to the Dixon Entrance area, Canada (54.5Â°N) between June 20 and Aug. 19. All transects up to the Dixon Entrance and along the west coast of Haida Gwaii were completed. Sea depth at the inshore end of individual transects was nominally 50 m. Offshore extent of individual transects was typically at a depth of 1,500 m.

EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During DE1010

NEFSC 2010 Atlantic Herring Acoustic/Midwater Trawl Survey (DE1010, EK60). 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.

EM302 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During CE16007

Transatlantic. Coverage includes a swath of multibeam data with focus on a previously unidentified seabed feature in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The survey was conducted between 08/04 and 22/04 and consist of a single transit line collected from  Galway to St. Johns. Survey was conducted at high speed of 10-12 kt due to time constrains and the need to reach the priority area in Canadian water where Oceanographic and Biological work had to be carried out on Ocean Eddies. The passage was affected by severe inclement weather who affected multibeam quality of the inital few days. Quality then became acceptable in proximity of the Mid Atlantic Ridge. Unfortunately the EM302 system stopped working the 13 of April due to electrical malfuntioning of few components and acquisition could not be resumed for the rest of the survey.

EK80 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During SH1601

Scientists from the Fishery Resource Analysis and Monitoring (FRAM) division at the Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) led the winter 2016 hake IAT survey aboard the NOAA Ship Bell M. Shimada, a 63.7-m (209-foot), acoustically quieted Fisheries Survey Vessel equipped for fisheries and oceanographic research. The survey was conducted between January 9 and February 9 (Table 1). The Shimada surveyed from 45.5Â°N to 31.3Â°N, beginning at
Newport, Oregon, proceeding south to the U.S./Mexico border, and then heading north back to Newport (Figures 1 and 2). Pre-planned (âcoarseâ) zigzag transects were oriented east-west, with larger offshore diagonals connected via smaller nearshore diagonals. Offshore diagonals, spaced roughly 100 nmi apart at the inshore side, ranged from the 30-m isobath (or as close to shore as was safely navigable) to bottoms depths of roughly 3,500â4,500 m. Nearshore
diagonals extended from the â¥30-m contour to roughly 2,000 m. If hake were detected at the offshore end of a transect, the vessel proceeded west to the end of the hake sign and then beyond for an additional 0.5 nmi to ensure that the end of the aggregation was located. When aggregations of spawning hake were detected along a pre-planned transect and confirmed by midwater trawling, adaptive transects, either parallel at a fine resolution (spaced either 0.5 or 1.0 nmi apart) or in a star pattern, were used to determine the spatial extent and size of the spawning aggregation(s). Additional acoustic data were collected to evaluate crepuscular migration (vertical and/or horizontal) of spawning hake aggregations by having the Shimada remain stationary one hour before sunrise to one hour after.

EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During OS1209

Island Wake Hotspots. Subsurface features were sampled with multi-frequency acoustics, CTD profiles, pairovet and bongo nets sampling different components of the ichthyoplankton and zooplankton assemblages. Juvenile fishes and squid were sampled with an Isaacs-Kidd mid-water trawl (IKMT). Repeat passes of a glider upstream of the area at Point Conception provided detailed sections of temperature, salinity, fluorescence, velocity and acoustic backscatter. Surface plankton will be sampled with manta nets, the Continuous Underway Fish Egg Sampler, thermo-salinograph, and remote sensing. The wakes are expected to be relatively small, with complex sub-mesoscale structure, and strong temporal variability.
The primary species focus of this study was small pelagic fish, rockfishes, and squids. However, the full ichthyoplankton community was counted according to usual protocols, and all species from the IKMT were identified, counted and preserved. Calibrated acoustic backscatter data were interpreted using catches from bongo nets and IKMT and predicted frequency-dependent scattering. CUFES data were enumerated and samples preserved according to normal protocols.

NEFSC 2005 Spring Bottom Trawl Survey (AL0504, EK500). 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.
