Single beam calibrated acoustic data collected by MUFTI-2, a deeply towed instrument with four frequencies at 18, 38 , 70 and 120 kHz. Collected during July voyage to quantify the biomass of orange roughy at St Helens Hill and St Patricks Head. Other data collected during this voyage was Simrad EK60 single beam acoustics from the Bluefin's vessel mounted echosounder and also Simrad ES60 at 38 kHz from catcher vessel FV Adriatic Pearl.
Simrad calibrated EK60 vessel mounted vertical acoustic data at 38 kHz during July voyage to quantify the biomass of orange roughy at St Helens Hill and St Patricks Head. Other data collected during this voyage was MUFTI-2 deep towed body acoustic data at 18, 38 ,70 and 120 kHz and also Simrad ES60 at 38 kHz from catcher vessel FV Adriatic Pearl.
Simrad EA500 and EK500 vessel mounted vertical acoustic data consisting of 12kHz, 38kHz, 120kHz, collected on voyage SS 07/2004 of Southern Surveyor off the west coast of Tasmania in July-August 2004, as part of a project to test and develop the blue grenadier acoustic observation system. Data were collected for the duration of the voyage. 38kHz and 120kHz frequencies were calibrated at the start of the voyage.
In-situ target strength data at 38 and 120kHz from acoustic system lowered slowly through the water column, stopping at 100 metre intervals for 5 minutes. 15 deployments in total, complemented by CTD, EK500 vertical acoustics, MIDOC net tows Collected on voyage SS 09/2004 of Southern Surveyor off the East Coast of Australia in and around the Lord Howe Rise, east of Brisbane, in September 2004.
