Description
OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this project is to conduct herring tagging and deploy acoustic receivers to obtain data on herring spatial distribution and migration patterns in Fortune Bay. The results will be used to better inform stock assessments.
SCOPE OF WORK:
The work will involve searching Fortune Bay for aggregations of herring, loosely catching herring in a purse, bar or tuck seine in order for DFO staff to dipnet around 250 live herring into large containers on board the vessel. DFO staff will then conduct acoustic tagging on a subset of the catch and release all fish back into the ocean. The work will also involve assisting in the deployment of 5-10 acoustic receivers in Fortune Bay (the work is planned in the area of Long Harbour in Fortune Bay). The vessel crew will be responsible for operating the trap hauler/winch during deployment and retrieval of acoustic receivers and their moorings.
