In its continued efforts to improve the data used in stock assessments, the NOAA Pacific islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) implemented a Bottomfish Fishery-Independent Survey in Hawaii (BFISH) in 2016. The BFISH survey utilizes two gear types, Cooperative Research hook-and-line fishing operations (CRF) and the Modular Optical Underwater Survey System (MOUSS). Survey sampling is conducted annually, typically in the fall, surrounding the Main Hawaiian Islands (MHI), in accordance with a stratified-random sampling design. Under this design, the waters surrounding the MHI are gridded at 500 meter resolution. Each grid is given attributes of depth, slope, and seafloor hardness. Depth categories are Shallow (75-200 meters), Medium (200-300 meters) and Deep (300-400 meters). Slope categories are Low slope (0-10 degrees) and High (10-90 degrees). Seafloor categories are Hardbottom and Softbottom. Annual survey data are processed to produce relative and absolute abundance and biomass estimates for the Stock Assessment for the Main Hawaiian Islands Deep 7 Bottomfish Complex. MOUSS operations are conducted by researchers at the NOAA PIFSC. Two MOUSS units are deployed within each survey grid. Each MOUSS is left on the seafloor for a minimum of 15 minutes. Once recovered and returned to the lab, MOUSS videos are analysed using the MaxN method to produce species-specific, size-structured abundance estimates for Deep7 species. To generate abundance and size estimates from underwater stereo-video camera systems to generate species-specific, size-structured, abundance estimates for use in the Stock Assessment for the Main Hawaiian Islands Deep 7 Bottomfish Complex. benjamin.richards@noaa.gov onGoing Richards, Benjamin L (808)725-5320 1845 Wasp Blvd. Honolulu HI 96818 USA benjamin.richards@noaa.gov Email or phone (808-725-5320) pointOfContact Richards, Benjamin L (808)725-5320 1845 Wasp Blvd. Honolulu HI 96818 USA benjamin.richards@noaa.gov Email or Phone (808-725-5320) custodian asNeeded Advanced Technology Bottomfish Deep7 Fisheries Fishery-independent Hawaii Kahoolawe Kauai Lanai Maui Molokai NOAA Niihau Oahu Stereo-Video Stock Assessment Survey theme Main Hawaiian Islands place DOC/NOAA/NMFS/PIFSC > Pacific Islands 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.
