2014 Small Pelagics Survey (GU1406, EK60)
Objectives of the 2013 Small Pelagics Acoustic/Trawl Survey were to sample the northern
Gulf of Mexico with a 90-ft high opening trawl to facilitate assessments of abundance
and distribution of small pelagic fish species, estimate size structures of sampled
populations, collect ichtyoplankton samples to map distribution of fish eggs and larvae,
collect profiles of conductivity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, fluorescence, and
transmisivity at each sample site, and collect splitbeam echosounder data.
