PEX200103 Petuna Explorer ES60 Acoustic Data Trials, April 2001. Devonport to Hobart.

Pilot data collection excercise to collect Simrad ES60 38kHZ vertical acoustic data from an industry vessel to assess the data management/quality issues and the suitablity of the vessel as an acoustic platform. A continuation of the 1999 acoustic survey of St Helens Hill where Southern Surveyor and the industry vessel Saxon Progress participated in acoustic surveying of orange roughy stocks (see Marlin record number 5545). This voyage took the vessel to the Tasmanian West Coast Blue Grenadier grounds. 14 gigabytes of full sample rate ES60 data collected during the voyage.

本项目为试点数据采集试验，旨在从商用作业船舶采集Simrad ES60型38kHz垂直声学数据，以评估数据管理与质量相关问题，以及该船舶作为声学观测平台的适配性。本项目是1999年圣海伦斯山声学勘测的延续工作，当年"探索者号（Southern Surveyor）"与商用船舶"萨克森进展号（Saxon Progress）"共同参与了橘棘鲷种群的声学勘测作业（详见Marlin档案编号5545）。本次航行前往塔斯马尼亚西海岸蓝鳕作业海域，共采集到14吉字节的全采样率ES60声学数据。
