Oceanographic and fisheries data were collected during 1988 through 1991 through a multiagency research project to develop a remote sensing system to provide near real time image products to fishermen in the Northern Gulf of Mexico. The data included surface water temperatures, salinities, and chlorophyll samples acquired by boats and vessels and fish catch information reported by menhaden spotter pilots and vessel captains. The environmental and fisheries data were acquired concurrently with overflights of the Airborne Ocean Color Imager (AOCI) carried on a Learjet operated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The AOCI is a multispectral scanner and was configured with sensors to remotely sense water color in coastal and oceanic waters. The environmental and fisheries data were used to develop experimental data products that were distributed to fishermen in near real time. The study area encompassed the area from southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River to Marsh Island, Louisiana. These are only the fisheries and environmental data. Remotely sensed data are not available.
To develop a commercial remote sensing system to provide near real time data products to support commercial fishing operations.

Accuracy
Predictive values in the map were scaled from 1 to 100 to indicate a range of fishing success from low to high, respectively.
The locations and estimated sizes (in thousands of individuals) of menhaden schools in the northern Gulf of Mexico were recorded by spotter aircraft during the study. The location data were recorded as latitude and longitude coordinates and were taken from a Loran-C navigation system on board each aircraft. National Marine Fisheries Service field personnel located in Houma, Louisiana and Sulphur, Louisiana faxed copies of the flight records to Stennis Space Center where the data were manually entered into a database and checked for errors. Since the numbers of fish comprising each school were generally reported as ranges (e.g., 50,000 to 75,000 fish), the midpoint of the range was used as an estimate of school size. Adverse weather conditions sometimes limited the number of flights conducted by the spotter aircraft. Other schooling species were sighted by the spotter aircraft pilots but were excluded from the analysis. The AOCI imagery was processed with the Earth Resources Application Software package developed by NASA. SAS software was used to analyze the in-situ and remotely-sensed data and develop an experimental algorithm relating fish catches to chlorophyll concentrations. The algorithm was used in ELAS to generate a predictive map with an encoded coastline and graticule. Predictive values in the map were scaled from 1 to 100 to indicate a range of fishing success from low to high, respectively. The map was transferred to an electronic bulletin board where NMFS field personnel downloaded the image and distributed hardcopy versions of the data to the menhaden spotter pilots, usually by the following day.

chlorophyll fluorometry
The Seapoint Chlorophyll Fluorometer (SCF) is a high-performance, low power instrument for in situ measurements of chlorophyll. Its small size, very low power consumption, high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, 6000 meter depth capability, and open or pump-through sample volume options provide the power and flexibility to measure chlorophyll in a wide variety of conditions. The SCF uses modulated blue LED lamps and a blue excitation filter to excite chlorophyll. The fluorescent light emitted by the chlorophyll passes through a red emission filter and is detected by a silicon photodiode. The low level signal is then processed using synchronous demodulation circuitry which generates an output voltage proportional to chlorophyll concentration. The SCF may be operated with or without a pump. The sensing volume may be left open to the surrounding water, or, with the use of the supplied cap, can have water pumped through it. Two control lines allow the user to set the range to one of four options. These lines may be hardwired or microprocessor controlled to provide a suitable range and resolution for a given application. The sensor is easily interfaced with data acquisition packages; a 5 ft. pigtail is supplied.
NOAA Ship Oregon II
The Oregon II is a 170-ft NOAA research vessel that is used for living marine resource studies in support of the SEFSC Pascagoula Laboratory (Figure A-42). The vessel is operated in all three SEFSC research areas and has several types of fishing and research gear used on board that includes: a double-rigged shrimp trawl, longline winch, fish trap, dredge, electronic fish detection equipment, environmental sensors, and electronics equipment.
