A hydroacoustic survey of Pacific hake on the continental shelf off British Columbia from the Canada/U.S. boundary to Queen Charlotte Sound : August 15-31, 1994 / by K. Cooke, M.W. Saunders, W.T. Andrews,...: Fs97-4/2363E-PDF

"A hydroacoustic survey for Pacific hake (Merluccius productus) was conducted off Vancouver Island and into Queen Charlotte Sound from August 15 to 31, 1994 to determine the distribution and abundance of hake in the study area. Acoustic biomass for all species and for hake are given. Summary information of associated midwater trawl catches is included. Trawling operations were conducted to verify acoustic targets and to examine the hake size distribution and age composition as a function of latitude. Young-of-the-year hake were observed for the first time off Vancouver Island and extended as far north as Quatsino Sound. Distribution of hake stocks in relation to oceanographic conditions is discussed"--Abstract, page iii.
