Co-PI's Gareth Lawson and Andone Lavery, along with Mike Jech (NEFSC) working on board the F/V Karen Elizabeth which sailed from their home port of Pt Judith RI to the continental shelf break south of Woods Hole, near where the Pioneer Array is being installed. The project involves test applications of a new wideband acoustic technology. The research involves using customized systems for zooplankton applications for a while, and this project is taking first steps towards using such acoustics (specifically a new system loaned to us by Simrad) for fisheries surveys.
Image Of the Day caption:
Mike Jech (left) of NOAAs Northeast Fisheries Science Center in Woods Hole and WHOI biologist Gareth Lawson prepare to calibrate an acoustic towed body in Providence Harbor in January 2014. The scientists are testing a new acoustical sampling method using experimental Simrad wideband acoustic transceivers and acoustic transducers (seen here in orange). If successful, this new capability will allow scientists to conduct surveys of important prey species such as butterfish, squid, and krill.
