Brief description
38kHz Simrad ES60 acoustic data collected during commercial fishing of spawning blue grenadier off the Tasmanian west coast in winter of 2003. Petersen was one of three factory freezer vessels collection acoustic and biological data as part of the FRDC project gt76a. Acoustic data is held by the CSIRO Marine Science Acoustic Group (Hobart). Complementary data sets would be acoustic data collected by vessels FV Ocean Dawn and FV Petersen as well as biological measures of fish collected by CSIRO and AFMA observers during the 2003 season.Lineage
Progress Code: completed
Maintenance and Update Frequency: notPlanned
Statement: Many vessels in the fishing fleets are installing Simrad ES60 echosounders. This dataset is a pilot study in the issues of data quality and management of the acoustic data from these instruments with the long term view that it should be possible to collect high quality acoustic data at relatively low cost by using the ES60. ES60 software requires specialist software (currently Echoview or Simrad's Bergen Integrator) to process and quality control the data. This data was collected with ES60 software version 1.4.3.64
