Results of an acoustic survey of herring in the Southern Gulf of St. Lawrence and Sydney Bight, November 1984 / by R. Shotton and M. Ahrens and C. Bourque.: Fs70-8/87-63E-PDF

"Results are presented from the first quantitative acoustic survey of herring in (1) the Gaspe - Baie de Chaleur area, (2) about Cape Breton Island, and (3) along the southwestern coast of Newfoundland, in November 1984. In the Baie de Chaleur area, most herring were found close to the shore, especially between Grande Riviere and Cap d'Espoir. Concentrations of schools were also found about Cap de Gaspe, and north and northwest of Miscou Island. No herring were located in the area surveyed about Newfoundland. Scattered small schools were located along the west coast of Cape Breton Island, between MacKenzie Pt and Lowland Cove. In Sydney Bight a large concentration of herring schools was located between Neil Harbor and Ingonish Bay, and a lesser amount along the southern coast of the Bight in the Sydney-New Waterford area"--Abstract, page 1.
