Acoustic survey data for Chinook salmon North and South of Vancouver Island in 2020

This dataset contains the sumarized data collected from acoustic survey with the hydrographic data in 2020. The data consist of temperature, salinity, pressure and velocity, and processed acoustic data.

Disciplines

Biological oceanography, Fisheries and aquaculture, Marine geology

Keywords

areal density, Chinook salmon, NRKW and SRKW

Location

51.237565N, 48.002659S, -122.38985E, -129.069194W

Devices

We collected acoustic data using Simrad EK80 echosounders operating at 38 (10° split-beam), 70, 120, and 200 kHz (7° split-beams). We assessed the spatial variability of water properties between our two study areas by recording vertical conductivity–temperature−depth (CTD) profiles of temperature and conductivity (19plus V2 in 2019; Sea-Bird Electronics), oxygen (SBE 43; Sea-Bird Electronics), and fluorescence (WET Labs ECO).
