Doc. 82-06. 132 p. download tableDigital The standardized NEFSC Sea Scallop Survey began in 1980 and has covered an area from Cape Hatteras to Georges Bank. The survey aims to determine the distribution and abundance of scallops and associated fauna utilizing two sampling devices: the 8-foot wide New Bedford style dredge, standardized sea scallop dredge and the stereo-optic towed camera array (HabCam). Fifteen minute dredge hauls are made at stations that are randomly selected using the NEFSC shellfish strata to provide unbiased abundance measurements. The HabCam is conducted using transects across bathymetry lines in the same area as the dredge tows. Various vessels have served as a platform for the survey, including NOAA vessels: FRV Albatross IV, FRV Oregon II, FRV Chapman, FV Tradition, the UNOLS vessel RV Hugh R. Sharp, and currently, NOAA RV Henry B. Bigelow (HabCam) and commercial FV Selje (dredge). The NEFSC Sea Scallop Survey is an annual quantitative cruise to determine the distribution and abundance of scallops, Placopecten magellanicus, and Icelandic scallops, Chlamys islandica, and to characterize the associated fauna. There are three parts to the survey covering the following areas: Mid-Atlantic Bight/Southern New England, Southern New England/Georges Bank, and Georges Bank although coverage in earlier surveys spanned as far south as Cape Hatteras.

Station, catch and biological data were collected manually using paper logs until 2000. At the completion of each cruise leg, the logs were keypunched and data audited extensively prior to being released. Starting with year 2001, FSCS 1.0 was implemented to electronically capture station, catch and biological data. Data were subject to extensive audits prior to being released. Furuno GPS Position FURUNO GP150 is a GPS navigator designed for the SOLAS ships according to the GPS performance standard IMO Res MSC.112(73) and associated IEC standards effective on and after July 1, 2003. It is a highly reliable standalone EPFS (electronic position fixing system) that feeds positioning information to AIS, Radar, VDR, VideoPlotter, Autopilot, Echo Sounder and Sonar. GPS (Global Positioning System) GPS (Global Positioning System) The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a U.S.-owned utility that provides users with positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services. This system consists of three segments: the space segment, the control segment, and the user segment. The U.S. Air Force develops, maintains, and operates the space and control segments. New Bedford Sea Scallop Dredge Dredges The New Bedford-type dredge is primarily used to harvest sea scallops. The forward edge of the New Bedford-type dredge uses a cutting bar to create turbulence that drives scallops from the sediment into the bag of the dredge. The bag is made of metal rings and drags on the seafloor.
