Resource Survey Report: 2022 Sea Scallop Survey, Mid-Atlantic Bight to Georges Bank, 14 May to 13 June 2022, UNOLS R-V Hugh R. Sharp

The following charts and station data indicate the distribution of sea scallops during the 2022 Sea Scallop Survey conducted aboard the UNOLS R/V Hugh R. Sharp. Additionally, the included appendix describes a sampling system on the scallop cruise where the Northeast Fisheries Science Center, in collaboration with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, deployed a fiber-optic towed vehicle fitted with stereo cameras in proximity to standard dredge hauls for the entire survey area. For the dredging portion of the survey, fifteen-minute tows were made at a speed of 3.8 knots using a modified 8-foot, New Bedford type scallop dredge. 2022 Resource Survey Report, Sea Scallop Survey, Northeast Fisheries Science Center, Mid-Altlantic NMFS (National Marine Fisheries Service) NEFSC (Northeast Fisheries Science Center) Submitted https://doi.org/10.25923/6d6m-n885 Public Domain 2261
