the Exploration of the Sea Do not cite without permission of author Visualizing Alaska Pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) Aggregation Dynamics
Commercial echosounders are used to collect acoustic data from fishing vessels during normal fishing operations. In the winter of 2003 we collected approximately 32,000 km of backscatter data from three commercial fishing vessels participating in the southeastern Bering Sea Alaska pollock fishery. A...
