2. Details of Study Ship: Anne S. Pierce
Duration of Cruise: 1.5 days (Oct. 7th – Oct. 8th)

3. Study Site Conception Bay 5 fixed stations 2 ADCP transects
Open Bay (Oct. 7th)
Tickle (Oct. 8th)
5 fixed stations
2 ADCP transects
Sonar Survey

4. Purpose of Project 3 aspects of oceanography in Conception Bay
Physical
Geological
Biological
Question: How do these 3 areas interconnect within Conception Bay?

5. Equipment and Example A= Chaetognath, B= Copepod -1, C= Copepod -2,
D= Cladoceran, E= Echinoderm Larvae,
F= Gastropod Larvae, G= Larvacean, H= Mysid,
I= Shrimp Larvae, J= Pteropod, K= Starfish Larvae.
Plankton Ring Tow Net

6. Equipment and Example
Bottom Grab Sampler

7. Equipment and Example Biosonics Echo-Sounder
No data beyond 15 m. This is the default setting, we didn’t adjust it. Also, zooplankton plumes... No fish (not big enough).
Biosonics Echo-Sounder

8. Equipment and Example
Secchi Depth
Secchi Disk

9. Equipment and Example
Plot CTD data bigger.
CTD

10. Equipment and Example Tides Strong Winds??? Moored Thermistor and ADCP
Look at wind data – compare (wind speed and direction).
Moored Thermistor and ADCP

11. Equipment and Example
Towed ADCP

12. Equipment and Example
Glider

13. Equipment and Example
Sub-Bottom Sonar

14. Equipment and Example Side-Scan Sonar
Perhaps the overview shot, then zoom in.
Side-Scan Sonar

15. Equipment and Example
Multibeam Sonar

16. Projected Data Analysis
Physical
Moored ADCP, Moored vs. Towed ADCP, thermistor, CTD, Biosonics  filtering
Geological
Side-scan, Multi-beam, Sub-bottom sonar  filtering
Biological
Statistical Analysis among sites, Species Abundance/Dominance, Comparison with Biosonics
