EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During PC1302
2013 SEAMAP Reef Fish Survey (PC1302, EK60). Objectives of the 2013 SEAMAP Reef Fish Survey were to collect video data of reef fish on western Gulf of Mexico shelf-edge banks to facilitate assessments of relative abundance and length-frequency distributions of reef fish species, collect otoliths from fish for age and growth analysis, collect profiles of conductivity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, fluorescence, and transmisivity at each sample site, and collect multibeam and splitbeam echosounder data at select survey areas.

Distribution Formats |
- Simrad EK60 raw (.raw) format (Version: 1)
- File Specification: Kongsberg/Simrad .raw files are generated by ME70, EK60 or ES60 instruments. They contain power and optionally angular position data with each beam/frequency identified by an independent channel. See the Simrad interface specification manual for further information. The .wcd files are generated by Kongsberg EM302 or EM122 instruments. See Kongsberg documentation for more information.
