Fisheries Acoustic Survey off Newfoundland Canada. Acoustic trawl survey of the shelf-slope area of NAFO divisions 3NOPs. The goal is to quantify and get biological information on the gadoid species complex occurring in the area that include Atlantic cod, haddock, pollock and silver hake. We also aim to describe habitat and environmental drivers in the system. Primary operations will include: - Operation of EK60 fisheries echosounder and multibeam sounder - Approximately 50 fishing sets using Campelen bottom trawl - Approximately 25 CTD/plankton sampling stations - Approximately 12 moored camera deployments
