EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During SE1208

Comparison of fishery-independent methods for sampling Main Hawaiian Islands Bottomfish assemblages (SE1208, 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 a BRUVS (shallow water baited/unbaited underwater video camera system).  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.  Biosampling on some of the fish was carried out including measurement of length and weight and preservation of otoliths, gonads, and stomach for post-survey analyses.  Bottomfishing off the Sette were conducted simultaneously with acoustics data collection to groundtruth the acoustics data.  CTD-mounted video camera drops we conducted simultaneously with acoustics recording to further groundtruth the acoustics data.

EK500 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During DE0413

NEFSC 2004 Atlantic Herring Acoustic/Midwater Trawl Survey (DE0413, 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.

EK500 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During DS0104

2001 Spring CalCOFI. The California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations (CalCOFI) are a unique partnership of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, NOAA Fisheries Service and Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The organization was formed in 1949 to study the ecological aspects of the sardine population collapse off California. Today our focus has shifted to the study of the marine environment off the coast of California, the management of its living resources, and monitoring the indicators of El Nino and climate change. CalCOFI conducts quarterly cruises off southern and central California, collecting a suite of hydrographic and biological data on station and underway.  Data collected at depths down to 500 m include: temperature, salinity, oxygen, phosphate, silicate, nitrate and nitrite, chlorophyll, transmissometer, PAR, C14 primary productivity, phytoplankton biodiversity, zooplankton biomass, and zooplankton biodiversity.

EK500 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During MF0710

The 2007 Joint U.S.-Canada Integrated Acoustic and Trawl Survey of Pacific Hake (Merluccius productus) (MF0710, 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 2007 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 (35.8N) to the Dixon Entrance area, Canada (54.9N) between June 20 and Aug. 21. 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 NF-11-01-USVI

NF-11-01-USVI Characterization of Seafloor Habitats of the U.S. Caribbean (EK60). The objective of this project is to collect a multibeam bathymetry dataset with 100% seafloor ensonification, along with multibeam backscatter suitable for seafloor characterization. Fishery acoustics data will be collected to characterize broad-scale fish abundance, biomass, and utilization patterns, as well as to locate and document fish spawning aggregations. Multibeam data will be collected to conform to IHO Order 1 (less than 100m) and Order 2 (greater than 100m) accuracy standards. The strategies developed for each survey area will take into account the minimum depths, general bathymetry, and time allotment. The delineation and identification of seafloor habitats will be assisted by the use of a moderate-depth Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) and drop camera. The vehicle has video and frame camera capability to depths of 300 meters and will be used to point sampling within areas mapped during this mission.

ME70 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During DY1506

Gulf of Alaska Acoustic-Trawl Survey of Walleye Pollock (DY1506, ME70). The Midwater Assessment and Conservation Engineering (MACE) program of NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), 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 2015 to estimate the distribution and abundance of walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus). The survey area included the GOA shelf from the Islands of Four Mountains to Chiniak Trough including many associated bays and troughs. The survey was conducted from June 11 to August 16, 2015 in three legs, starting and ending in Kodiak, Alaska, with intermediate port calls in Kodiak, Alaska. 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.
