Industry also had concerns about the survey trawl capture efficiency for monkfish. The NEFSC, determined to investigate these assertions, developed an industry based survey that would cover a broader area of the northeast shelf and break utilizing commercial gear specifically designed to catch monkfish. In 2009, the NEFSC bottom trawl surveys transitioned to a new vessel with the ability to sample in deeper water. At this time the survey trawl was replaced with a more advanced trawl. The combination of greater coverage and increased monkfish capture efficiency on the new survey indicated that a dedicated monkfish survey was no longer necessary. The program was suspended after the 2009 survey. The primary objective of this study is to obtain an area-swept abundance estimate of monkfish using commercial fishing gear on commercial vessels. Secondary objectives include producing estimates that can be compared with those obtained by the NEFSC’s new survey vessel and collecting data that will increase our knowledge of the biology of this species. Surveys were completed in 2001, 2004, and 2009. completed Foley, Catherine 166 Water Street Woods Hole MA 02543 catherine.foley@noaa.gov pointOfContact Foley, Catherine 166 Water Street Woods Hole MA 02543 catherine.foley@noaa.gov custodian asNeeded cooperative research goosefish industry based survey monkfish theme 2001 2004 2009 temporal Northwest Atlantic place benthic demersal pelagic stratum DOC/NOAA/NMFS/NEFSC > Northeast Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
