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:
Birds ride in the wake of F/V Karen Elizabeth as crew members recover a bottom trawl filled with butterfish at the New England continental shelf edge. Working with fishermen from Point Judith, Rhode Island, and Mike Jech, of NOAA's Northeast Fisheries Science Center, WHOI scientists Andone Lavery and Gareth Lawson are testing the utility of new broadband acoustic technologies for fisheries surveys. Originally developed to measure zooplankton concentrations in the water column, these customized systems will give fisheries managers new information about butterfish, squid, and krill populations in the North Atlantic.
