Created 25/06/2025

Updated 25/06/2025

Pilot data collection excercise to collect Simrad ES60 38kHZ vertical acoustic data from an industry vessel to assess the data management/quality issues and the suitablity of the vessel as an acoustic platform. A continuation of the 1999 acoustic survey of St Helens Hill where Southern Surveyor and the industry vessel Saxon Progress participated in acoustic surveying of orange roughy stocks (see Marlin record number 5545). This voyage took the vessel to the Tasmanian West Coast Blue Grenadier grounds. 14 gigabytes of full sample rate ES60 data collected during the voyage.
