EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During SE1306_BeforeCalib
Comparison of fishery-independent methods for sampling Main Hawaiian Islands Bottomfish
assemblages (SE1306_BeforeCalib, 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 and
unbaited stationary Botcam, a SeaBED AUV, and a Phantom ROV. Acoustics data were
collected using a narrow-beam EK60 system operating at 38, 70, 120, and 200 kHz frequencies.
Research fishing was conducted using hook-and-line on small boats. Simultaneous AUV
and ROV with active acoustics were operated to obtain target strength measurements
of fish with known species and sizes. Bottomfishing off the Sette were conducted
simultaneously with acoustics data collection to further groundtruth the acoustics
data.

Purpose | The scientific objective of this cruise is to collect data on economically important Hawaii semi-demersal fish abundance and biomass using three methodologies: optical, experimental fishing, and active acoustics. Based on the results, a subset of methodologies, or a single methodology will be selected to provide the best possible estimates of abundance and biomass to be applied to stock assessment models. |
