This program involved a series of one day cruises on a commercial trawl and longline vessel. Cruises were conducted once per month from 2001-2005. The objectives of the cruises were: collect monthly biological data on all groundfish observed, examine spatial and temporal distributions. An added feature was the use of commercial vessels operated by experienced commercial fishermen. All cruises were conducted in the Monterey Bay area (California).

Instruments
Instrument 1
| Identifier: | GPS (Global Positioning System) |
|---|---|
| Instrument / Gear: | Instrument |
| Instrument Type: | GPS (Global Positioning System) |
| Description: |
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a U.S.-owned utility that provides users with positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services. This system consists of three segments: the space segment, the control segment, and the user segment. The U.S. Air Force develops, maintains, and operates the space and control segments. |
Instrument 2
| Identifier: | Longline |
|---|---|
| Instrument / Gear: | Gear |
| Instrument Type: | Hooks and Lines |
| Description: |
Longline fishing is a type of hook-and-line gear in which baited hooks attached to a mainline or ‘groundline’ are deployed from a vessel. The length of the longline and the number of hooks depend on the species targeted, the size of the vessel used, and the purpose of the fishing activity. |
Instrument 3
| Identifier: | Trawl Net |
|---|---|
| Instrument / Gear: | Gear |
| Instrument Type: | Trawl Nets |
| Description: |
A funnel-shaped net towed behind a boat to capture fish. The cod end, or ‘bag,’ is the fine-meshed portion of the net most distant from the towing vessel where fish and other organisms larger than the mesh size are retained. |
Platforms
Platform 1
| Identifier: | Charter vessels-small boats | ||
