* » Abstract |
The NEFSC Advanced Sampling Technologies Research Group conducts annual fisheries acoustic surveys using state-of-the-art acoustic, midwater trawling, and underwater video technologies to improve fisheries-independent stock assessments for pelagic species. Pilot and experimental studies were conducted during 1995-97 to develop the NEFSC's fisheries acoustic capabilities. Annual NEFSC Atlantic Herring Acoustic Surveys began in 1998. NEFSC acoustic capabilities include multifrequency EK60 echosounder data, Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP), and trawl monitoring systems. Midwater trawling, plankton sampling, and underwater video operations provide biological samples and target verification. CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) vertical profiles are also routinely obtained during survey operations. |
* Purpose |
The Fisheries Acoustics Research Group uses state-of-the-art acoustic optic sampling technologies to provide unbiased fishery independent abundance estimates of commercially important pelagic fish stocks in the Northwest Atlantic. The NEFSC Advanced Sampling Technologies Research Group conducts annual fisheries acoustic surveys using state-of-the-art acoustic, midwater trawling, and underwater video technologies to improve fisheries-independent stock assessments for pelagic species. |

Description |
Water column sonar data are collected by active acoustic (or sonar) technology and contain acoustic scattering information from the near-surface to the seafloor. Scientists use these data to assess physical and biological characteristics of the ocean, including the spatial distribution of plankton, fish, methane seeps, and underwater oil plumes. Data from FARP cruises are available for download on the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) website. |

» Quality Control Procedures Employed |
SCS and FSCS data collection software programs employ real-time validation and must meet database integrity constraints. Prior to FSCS data collection, paper logs were pre-audited prior to keypunching. Data were then subject to post-audits. |
Data Management
» Have Resources for Management of these Data Been Identified? | Yes |
---|---|
» Approximate Percentage of Budget for these Data Devoted to Data Management | Unknown |
» Do these Data Comply with the Data Access Directive? | Yes |
» Is Access to the Data Limited Based on an Approved Waiver? | No |
» If Distributor (Data Hosting Service) is Needed, Please Indicate | |
» Approximate Delay Between Data Collection and Dissemination | 3 months |
» If Delay is Longer than Latency of Automated Processing, Indicate Under What Authority Data Access is Delayed | |
» Actual or Planned Long-Term Data Archive Location | To Be Determined |
» If To Be Determined, Unable to Archive, or No Archiving Intended, Explain |
Archiving solution for Oracle Data Sets is yet to be determined. |
» Approximate Delay Between Data Collection and Archiving | To be Determined |
» How Will the Data Be Protected from Accidental or Malicious Modification or Deletion Prior to Receipt by the Archive? |
Archival of source data preserving unaltered collected data, Scheduled backups, Remote storage backups, Password protection. |
Lineage
» Lineage Statement |
Vessel sensor data are collected electronically using SCS. Station, catch and biological data were collected manually using paper logs until 2000. At the completion of each cruise leg, the logs were keypunched and data audited extensively prior to being released. Starting with year 2001, FSCS 1.0 was implemented to electronically capture station, catch and biological data. Data were subject to extensive audits prior to being released. |
