Full description
Pilot data collection excercise to collect Simrad ES60 38kHZ vertical acoustic data from an industry vessel to assess the data management/quality issues and the suitablity of the vessel as an acoustic platform. A continuation of the 1999 acoustic survey of St Helens Hill where Southern Surveyor and the industry vessel Saxon Progress participated in acoustic surveying of orange roughy stocks (see Marlin record number 5545). 8 gigabytes of full sample rate ES60 data collected during the three day voyage.Lineage
Progress Code: completed
Maintenance and Update Frequency: continual
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 (Echoview of Simrad's Bergen Integrator) to process and quality control the data
