Distribution and abundance of Atlantic cod from an acoustic survey of Fortune Bay, Newfoundland during the winter of 1997

By J.P. Wheeler

Abstract

An acoustic survey was conducted during the winter of 1997 in the coastal waters of Fortune Bay, Newfoundland. The survey area included water depths from the coastline to the 120 m contour. Echo integration along a series of equidistant parallel transects within the survey area provided distributional and behavioral information, densities and a biomass estimate of Atlantic Cod.
