Comparison of submersible-survey and hydroacoustic-survey estimates of fish density on a rocky bank

Creator:

Starr, Richard M., Fox, David S., Hixon, Mark Anthony, Tissot, Brian N., Johnson, Gary E., and Barss, William H.

Abstract:

Submersible belt-transect surveys along a rocky bottom were combined with acoustic surveys of the water column to estimate depth distribution and density of fishes at Stonewall Bank, Oregon in the northeastern Pacific Ocean from September through October 1991.
