Characteristics of Fishes with the Potential to Cause Acoustic Clutter off Oregon and Washington during the Summer of 2012
Abstract
In the summer of 2012, the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) conducted an experiment off the coasts of Oregon and Washington to investigate acoustic clutter caused by aggregations offish. Two surveys and an experiment that were focused on the fish themselves were conducted in and near the NRL experiment area at about the same time These showed that Pacific sardine and Pacific hake were abundant in and around the NRL experiment area and provided information on their characteristics that are pertinent to the clutter experiment. This report discusses these characteristics including abundances, geographic and depth distributions, and the sizes of individual fish and fish aggregations.
