    SG-ASAM-2019 - 3 - Review of collection and analysis of krill acoustic data from fishing vessels
    Abstract

    SG-ASAM are invited to consider provide further recommendations for improving this fishing vessel data collection program and provide advice on

    • the timing and frequency for conducting acoustic transects;
    • the methods for the data transmission to the Secretariat including the use of EchoExplore to provide a meta-data catalogue of the data and
    • whether to have acoustic data transferred to the Secretariat as complete (raw) acoustic data files for processing and/or analysis products (e.g. from the EchoViewR protocol agreed at SG-ASAM).
