CE13007 Celtic Explorer Fisheries Acoustic Survey Newfoundland Canada 2013

This acoustic-trawl survey was carried out on board the RV Celtic Explorer in North West Atlantic Ocean Labrador Sea in April 2013 to map out the distribution and abundance of northern cod off Newfoundland and Labrador. Also map out the distribution and abundance of capelin north of 50 degrees latitude in collaboration with the Fisheries and Oceans Canada in the Newfoundland and Labrador Region (DFO) capelin survey. Fishing catches will be used to scale the acoustic estimates of the abundance of cod and capelin and to gather important information on the size, sex, and spawning status of these stocks Fishing catches will be used to scale the acoustic estimates of the abundance of cod and capelin and to gather important information on the size, sex, and spawning status of these stocks
