The cruise sampled the California Current Ecosystem from San Diego, CA to Vancouver Island, BC, CA. Multi-frequency (18-, 38-, 70-, 120-, 200-, and 333-) General Purpose Transceivers and Wide Band Transceivers (Simrad EK60 GPTs and EK80 WBTs), were configured with split-beam transducers (ES18-11, ES38B, ES70-7C, ES120-7C, ES200-7C, ES333-7c, respectively). The transducers were mounted on the bottom of a retractable keel called a "centerboard". The keel was retracted (~ 5-m depth) during calibration, and in the intermediate position (~7-m depth) throughout the survey. Exceptions were made during shallow water operations, when the keel was retracted; or during times of heavy weather, when the keel was extended (~9-m depth) to provide extra stability. In addition, the Simrad ME70, MS70, and SX90 were used to sample the water column simultaneously using K-sync to sequence pinging between sounders and sonars. The EK80s were removed from the ship halfway through the survey on August 19 and resinstalled on September 19. EK80 data was collected in CW mode. purpose: The objectives of the survey were to: 1) acoustically map the distributions and estimate the abundances of (CPS), including, but not limited to Pacific sardine (Sardinops sagax), Northern anchovy (Engralus mordax), herring (Clupea pallasii), and Pacific (Scomber japonicus) and jack mackerel (Trachurus symmetricus); and krill (euphausiid spp.); 2) characterize the biotic and abiotic environments of these species, and investigate linkages; and 3) gather information regarding the animals' life history parameters, schooling and diel vertical migration (DVM) behaviors, and potential avoidance reactions to the survey vessel. status: (MD_ProgressCode) completed pointOfContact: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information contactInfo: (CI_Contact) address: (CI_Address) electronicMailAddress: ncei.info@noaa.gov onlineResource: (CI_OnlineResource) linkage: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact name: NCEI Contact Information description: Information for contacts at NCEI. function: (CI_OnLineFunctionCode) information role: (CI_RoleCode) pointOfContact pointOfContact: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information positionName: Water Column Sonar Data Manager contactInfo: (CI_Contact) phone: (CI_Telephone) voice: (303) 497-4742 address: (CI_Address) deliveryPoint: 325 Broadway, Mail Code E/NE42 city: Boulder administrativeArea: CO postalCode: 80305-3328 country: USA electronicMailAddress: wcd.info@noaa.gov role: (CI_RoleCode) pointOfContact resourceMaintenance: (MD_MaintenanceInformation) maintenanceAndUpdateFrequency: (MD_MaintenanceFrequencyCode) notPlanned descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: Earth Science > Oceans > Ocean Acoustics > Acoustic Scattering keyword: Earth Science > Oceans > Aquatic Sciences > Fisheries keyword: Earth Science > Oceans > Ocean Acoustics keyword: Earth Science > Biosphere > Ecosystems > Marine Ecosystems > Pelagic keyword: Earth Science > Biosphere > Ecosystems > Marine Ecosystems keyword: Earth Science > Biosphere > Ecosystems > Marine Ecosystems > Benthic keyword: Earth Science > Biosphere > Ecosystems > Aquatic Ecosystems keyword: Earth Science > Oceans > Bathymetry/Seafloor Topography > Bathymetry keyword: Earth Science > Oceans > Bathymetry/Seafloor Topography > Seafloor Topography type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) theme thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords date: (CI_Date) date: 2020-01-09 dateType: (CI_DateTypeCode) publication edition: 9.1 citedResponsibleParty: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Earth Science Data and Information System contactInfo: (CI_Contact) onlineResource: (CI_OnlineResource) linkage: https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/learn/find-data/idn/gcmd-keywords name: Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keywords description: The information provided on this page seeks to define how the GCMD Keywords are structured, used and accessed.

The ship has a low sound signature to reduce reactions of fish to the presence of the ship and provides for a low signal-to-noise ratio for acoustic sensors. This allows scientists to study fish populations and collect oceanographic data with fewer effects on fish and marine mammal behavior. The multi-frequency scientific sonars provide the ability to conduct acoustic surveys that can distinguish fish types, estimate biomass, determine fish school shapes, and provide data on sea floor topography. Reuben Lasker is also equipped with oceanographic sampling and measurement systems, instrumented trawls, longlines, and plankton nets for direct sampling. The ship has a dynamic positioning system to steer along a pre-determined trackline and to accurately hold the ship in a fixed position. The ship is also equipped with meteorological data collection systems and has extensive wet and dry labs to provide maximum utilization of every hour at sea. These technologies will dramatically improve the ability to conduct diverse data collection operations as required by its mission. The ship is named after Dr. Reuben Lasker (1929-1988), who served as the Director of SWFSC's Coastal Fisheries Division and as adjunct professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, U.C. San Diego. Dr. Lasker built a renowned research group that focused on the recruitment of young fish to the adult population - a topic with implications for fisheries management throughout the world. sponsor: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: DOC/NOAA/OMAO/MOC-P > Marine Operations Center - Pacific, NOAA Marine Operations, NOAA Office of Marine and Aviation Operations, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce contactInfo: (CI_Contact) phone: (CI_Telephone) facsimile: 206-553-2246 address: (CI_Address) deliveryPoint: NOAA/OMAO/MOC-P deliveryPoint: 1801 Fairview Avenue East city: Seattle administrativeArea: WA postalCode: 98102-3767 country: USA electronicMailAddress: CO.MOC.Pacific@noaa.gov role: (CI_RoleCode) pointOfContact sponsor: (CI_ResponsibleParty) individualName: organisationName: DOC/NOAA/NMFS/SWFSC > Southwest Fisheries Science Center contactInfo: (CI_Contact) phone: (CI_Telephone) voice: 858-546-7000 address: (CI_Address) deliveryPoint: 8901 La Jolla Shores Dr. city: La Jolla administrativeArea: CA postalCode: 92037 country: USA electronicMailAddress: role: (CI_RoleCode) pointOfContact instrument: (MI_Instrument) citation: (CI_Citation) title: Simrad ME70 Echosounder date: (inapplicable) identifier: (MD_Identifier) code: ME70 citedResponsibleParty: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: Simrad - Kongsberg Maritime AS contactInfo: (CI_Contact) phone: (CI_Telephone) voice: +47 3303 4000 (Norway) facsimile: +47 3304 2987 (Norway) address: (CI_Address) deliveryPoint: P.O.
