Description
This survey was conducted to estimate the abundance and map the distribution of menhaden (Brevortia tyrannus) that are overwintering in the mid-Atlantic Bight off the coast of New Jersey, USA. The survey was conducted using a shipboard ES80 echosounder and ES38-B split-beam Simrad transducer. Catches were completed using the commercial midwater trawl on board the F/V Dyrsten. This survey was funded under a NOAA SK grant to Genny Nesslage of the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science.
