Quiet Fish Survey System Sample Clauses

Quiet Fish Survey System. Xxx Xxxxxxx Fish schools are routinely surveyed by many NOAA vessels. Whether the sampling device is a net or acoustic system, a major problem in the surveys is the fact that the ships radiate a significant amount of noise. This noise can cause the fish to avoid the ship. As a result, the fish may be grossly under sampled in the survey, thus invalidating the survey. We propose to solve this problem by constructing a quiet fish survey system that could be deployed by a NOAA vessel and accurately survey the fish without disturbing them. The system would be composed of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) with an autonomous acoustic echo sounder mounted on it. AUVs are inherently much quieter than a full size ship and could survey a region populated by fish without disturbing them. Use of the device would first involve the ship traveling to the survey site. The AUV would then be deployed into the region containing the population of fish and perform a preprogrammed survey of the area. During the survey, the echo sounder would repeatedly ping and record the echoes from the animals (in a manner similar to what ship-board echo sounders do). After the survey is completed, the AUV would return to the ship via use of a navigation transponder and be retrieved. Once the AUV is onboard the ship, the data are extracted from the AUV and the system is returned to the water with fresh batteries for the next survey. Use of this quiet fish survey system would solve a longstanding problem that scientists have had in surveying fish, regardless of what sampling technology they used. Furthermore, it is low risk as the construction of the system would involve configuration of existing technology that is residing at WHOI. The system would consist of the autonomous underwater vehicle REMUS (Remote Environment Measurement UnitS) with an acoustic echo sounder system mounted on it. The REMUS system, which has already been successfully built and tested by WHOI engineers, is small enough (6 feet long) so that it can easily be deployed by any NOAA vessel with no special handling requirements. Echo sounder electronics have already been successfully built and tested in the field with a REMUS system. The project would involve first assembling a REMUS from existing plans and integrating the necessary subsystems into it (including autonomous echo sounder electronics, navigation sensors, and CTD; all from existing plans). The completed system would then be tested in local waters at WHOI. Tes...
