Results of the 1986 and 1987 winter acoustic surveys of NAFO div. 4WX herring stocks / U. Buerkle.: Fs70-8/87-36E-PDF

"Results of the 1986 and 1987 winter acoustic surveys of herring are described and compared to results from the 1984 and 1985 surveys. The replicate surveys in 1986 and in 1987, were similar to those done in 1984 and 1985, and showed similar herring distributions. The herring were concentrated in varying numbers of fish patches in the southern portion and in the approaches to Chedabucto Bay, N.S. The fish patches changed shape and size with time and replicate surveys produced a wide range of estimates of acoustic abundance. The maximum acoustic estimate produced each year is taken as the best estimate of the quantity of fish present. The acoustic estimates are converted to herring biomass by a target strength estimate determined for in-situ herring in Denmark. Herring abundance detected by the surveys has increased since 1984 by about 23% per year"--Abstract, page 2.
