Full description
38kHz Simrad ES60 acoustic data collected during commercial fishing of spawning blue grenadier off the Tasmanian west coast in 2002. FV Ocean Dawn was one of three factory freezer vessels collection acoustic and biological data as part of a FRDC project. Acoustic data is held by the CSIRO Marine Science Acoustic Group (Hobart). Additional data: gps embedded in ES60 .raw files, AMFA (Australian Fisheries Mangement Authority) observer biological data (species, length, weight, sex, stage)(contact AFMA Observer section), AFMA trawl shot log - filled in by ships officers for each trawl shot, showing catch, location etc (contact AFMA Observer section). Complementary data sets as per above collected by vessels FV Aoraki and FV Petersen during the 2002 season. ES60 history files only. No cruise track or digitised echogram data available. Note cruise dates here indicate the period for which we hold data. This is a subset of the voyage duration. The actual start/end dates of this voyage are not known. This information is probably in the trawl log sheets of which we have copies.Lineage

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
