EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During GU1202
Deploy satellite telemetry tags on suitable specimens of sperm whale and Bryde’s
whale.
2. Collect tissue biopsy samples, detailed photographs, detailed video, fecal samples
and close-range acoustic recordings of select marine animal species.
3. Collect visual and passive acoustic data to characterize sperm whale abundance and
spatial distribution in the Southeastern Gulf.
4. Collect tissue samples (biopsies) of select cetaceans from the bow of Gordon
Gunter.
5. Collect acoustic recordings of marine mammal vocalizations for use in species
identification.
6. Collect oceanographic and environmental data including hydrographic profiles
(CTD and XBT), continuous surface water characteristics (SSCS), and scientific
echosounders (EK60) data to quantify acoustic backscatter due to small fish and
zooplankton.
