MIT Sea Grant is committed to achieving and maintaining sustainability in fisheries and aquaculture through improved engineering of fishing systems, assessments of the economic and social impacts of regulations, increasing our understanding of the ecological significance of fishing and aquaculture, and developing better tools for determining the abundance and behavior of commercially important stocks. We are encouraging research that helps develop a comprehensive program for the successful integration of a commercial aquaculture industry in the Northeast. |

Project Title: Passive Acoustic
Applications in Marine Fisheries Research
Protocol Outline Products resulting from this workshop include a 32-page brochure describing the emerging field of passive acoustics applied to fisheries (Goudey, Rountree and Hawkins 2003) and a 185-page proceedings (Rountree, Goudey and Hawkins 2003). In the fall of 2002, the proposers began a project titled "The Identification of Cod and Haddock Spawning Habitat Using Passive Acoustics" sponsored by the Northeast Consortium. Under this project we have developed innovative, low-cost Autonomous Underwater Listening Stations (AULS). The AULS hardware is specifically designed for deployment from commercial fishing vessels. The research protocol outline can be found here; preliminary data can be viewed here. |
