This data contains densities of fishes detected using mobile fisheries sonar on board the NOAA Ship Nancy Foster. The data were acquired in concert with a multibeam bathymetry survey of Grand Northeast Ecological Corridor. Fish densities are presented by size classes, corresponding to individual lengths inferred from the intensity of acoustic target return, in units of fish per 100 square meters.
1. To design and implement a mobile fisheries sonar survey in concert with multibeam echosounder hydrographic surveys to assess and map fish densities and biomass within management priority areas. 2. To assess distribution of fish densities relative to management areas and habitat types. 3. To assess location and size of purported reef fish spawning aggregations.

Completeness Report
These data consist of fish densities within and around the Grand Northeast Ecological Corridor, Puerto Rico. The data was collected during corresponding multibeam operations. The scientific echosounders were calibrated using standard calibrations techniques(FOOTE et. al. 1981).
Conceptual Consistency
Not applicable
Acoustic data was collected aboard the NOAA Ship Nancy Foster using 120-7C splitbeam transducer. The Kongsberg 120-7C transducer was hull mounted aboard the R/V Nancy Foster. Kongsberg ES transceivers and Simard EK60 software was used in the data acquisition. Data was collected during all shifts of multibeam survey.
2013-01-01T00:00:00
Echoview 5.3 was used in this step of the data processing. The EK60 .raw file format was edited for erroneous ping returns and acoustic noise. Fish were track using a tracking algorithm and the fish tracks were export in a .csv format.
2013-01-01T00:00:00
An acoustic processing script(V6.5)was used to calculate the density and size of fish through out the water column. Then projected(WGS84) in 100 square meter resolution in an ESRI shapefile.
2012-01-01T00:00:00
Arc Catalog was used to merge the daily shapefiles into one cruise shapefile. Metadata was added using arc catalog.
