Collect broadband acoustic data with Simrad EK80 broadband echosounders operating at central frequencies of 70 and 200 kHz. Collectively, the acoustic data will be used to characterize the distributions and abundances of hake, myctophids, gelatinous zooplankton, and krill. The use of the EK80s will require temporary modification to the ship’s EK60 set-up (see section II.C.a.v). i.Collect acoustic data along pre-planned transects along the coast (hereafter “transects”). ▪ Conduct daytime trawling to classify observed backscatter layers to verify hake aggregations and obtain specimens for biological data (length, sex, maturity, age, ovaries, diet, genetics, etc.). We request to have at least two experienced fishing officers on board at all times for all five legs. i. Trawling operations will be the primary method for interpreting the acoustic data. We will sample midwater and near-bottom echosign using an Aleutian Wing Trawl 24/20 (AWT). Trawl gear performance will be monitored during sampling for depth, net opening, and other parameters on the AWT with a Simrad ITI Trawl Eye and a Simrad FS-70 third wire Netsounder. We will also deploy temperature-depth recorders on the trawls, which we will supply. ii. Record data from shipboard net mensuration gear to evaluate trawl performance. ▪ Conduct IVC Transects: Conduct an Inter-Vessel Calibration (IVC) between the NOAA Ship Bell M. Shimada and the Canadian’s charter vessel Nordic Pearl to compare acoustic and fishing results of Pacific hake. The IVC is critical to ensure consistent data quality of the ongoing Joint US-Canada Pacific Hake Integrated Acoustic Trawl Survey, as the Canadian vessel W.E. Ricker was decommissioned and the Nordic Pearl will be filling its place this Summer. ▪ Use a portable x-ray system (Appendices 5 and 6) to take radiographic images of fish swimbladders ▪ Optically verify the presence of non-hake scatterers during trawling using a video camera and light(s) attached to the upper panel of the midwater trawl approximately 10-20 meters forward of the codend. ▪ Conduct vertical ring net zooplankton tows at pre-planned stations along transects (Appendix 2, Table 2) during daytime operations on a subset of six transects total for the survey area. These data will be used to describe the summer distribution of zooplankton species. ▪ Conduct vertical casts with the ship’s CTD rosette, outfitted with (2) temperature sensors, (2) conductivity sensors, (2) dissolved oxygen sensors, (1) fluorometer, and (1) altimeter. These casts will be conducted at pre-planned stations along transects (Appendix 2, Table 3) primarily at night. These data will be used in combination with acoustic backscatter data, to describe the vertical and horizontal distributions of hake relative to oceanographic conditions. ▪ Optically sample the watercolumn zooplankton assemblage using a Video Plankton Recorder (VPR). The VPR will be mounted on the CTD rosette in the place of three Niskin bottles, and will be deployed on each CTD cast. The VPR’s data will be used to evaluate the instrument’s sampling effectiveness relative to vertical ring net zooplankton tows, and will also serve as a zooplankton sampler for those CTD casts not matched with vertical zooplankton tows. ▪ Conduct underway CTD (uCTD) casts at pre-planned stations along transects (Appendix 2, Table 4). These data will be used to supplement oceanographic information obtained from the CTD rosettes and will contribute to the description of hake distribution relative to ocean conditions ▪ Continuously collect Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data along transects. These data will be used to describe the distribution of hake relative to currents. ▪ Conduct daytime Methot net tows to verify the identity of acoustic targets suspected to be euphausiids and obtain specimens for species identification and length. ▪ Continuously sample sea-surface temperature, salinity, and chlorophyll-a using the ship’s thermosalinograph and flow-through fluorometer. These data will be used to estimate the physical oceanographic habitats for hake. ▪ Continuously sample air temperature, barometric pressure, and wind speed and direction using the ship’s integrated weather station. ▪ Collect broadband acoustic data with EK80 echosounders operating at central frequencies of 70 and 200 kHz. ▪ All transect waypoints, CTD rosette, underway CTD and Zooplankton station locations will be provided to the navigational officer in Nobeltec format prior to the start of the survey. The primary goal of the joint survey is to estimate the biomass, distribution, and biological composition of Pacific hake using data from an integrated acoustic and trawl survey off the west coasts of the U.S. and Canada from approximately Point Conception (lat 34.5’N) to Dixon Entrance, Alaska. completed NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Water Column Sonar Data Manager (303) 497-4742 325 Broadway, Mail Code E/NE42 Boulder CO 80305-3328 USA wcd.info@noaa.gov pointOfContact notPlanned Earth Science > Oceans > Ocean Acoustics > Acoustic Scattering Earth Science > Oceans > Aquatic Sciences > Fisheries Earth Science > Oceans > Ocean Acoustics Earth Science > Biosphere > Ecosystems > Marine Ecosystems > Pelagic Earth Science > Biosphere > Ecosystems > Marine Ecosystems Earth Science > Biosphere > Ecosystems > Marine Ecosystems > Benthic Earth Science > Biosphere > Ecosystems > Aquatic Ecosystems Earth Science > Oceans > Bathymetry/Seafloor Topography > Bathymetry Earth Science > Oceans > Bathymetry/Seafloor Topography > Seafloor Topography theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 2020-01-09 publication 9.1 NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Earth Science Data and Information System https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/learn/find-data/idn/gcmd-keywords Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keywords The information provided on this page seeks to define how the GCMD Keywords are structured, used and accessed.

The Simrad EK80 can operate a large number of frequencies simultaneously ranging from 10 to 500 kHz. A wide selection of high quality accurate transducers is available. SH1707_EK80 completed NOAA Ship Bell M. Shimada (R227) Bell M. Shimada (SH) The fourth vessel of its kind, Bell M. Shimada offers fisheries scientists the ability to monitor fish populations without altering their behavior, allowing them to collect data with unprecedented accuracy. With better data, biologists and oceanographers can help managers make better management decisions. In the Pacific, Bell M. Shimada will help scientists gain valuable insight into the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem, a globally–significant natural resource that stretches from Baja California to British Columbia. Two scientists at the Center recently described some of the way in which this vessel will enhance existing or open opportunities for new research projects.
