Trawl catch data from deepwater commercial trawl net and MIDOC fine mesh midwater sampling net deployed from catcher vessel FV Adriatic Pearl. The dataset contains species, length, weight, sex and stage.
38kHz Simrad ES60 acoustic data collected during commercial fishing of spawning orange roughy off the Tasmanian east coast in 2004. Acoustic data is held by the CSIRO Marine Science Acoustic Group (Hobart). Additional data: gps embedded in ES60 .raw files, Wildlife computers MK9 temperature/depth loggers attached to headline of trawl net, 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).
Simrad calibrated ES60 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 collected by catcher vessel FV Adriatic Pearl. Other data collected during this voyage was MUFTI-2 deep towed body acoustic data at 18, 38 ,70 and 120 kHz and also Simrad EK60 at 38 kHz from acoustic survey vessel FTV Bluefin.
