Title: Acoustics and pelagic ecosystems -testing equipment, developing procedures and sample collection
Period: 2015-04-16 06:56 to 2015-04-23 03:26 UTC
Duration: 6.85 days
From: Hobart To: Hobart
Region: Derwent Estuary, south east Tasmania, southern Tasmanian waters.
Ship: Investigator (RV) [details]
Description: MNF RV Investigator trial voyage IN2015_E03 Acoustics and pelagic ecosystems -testing equipment, developing procedures and sample collection. Voyage Objectives: This voyage will trial the vessels acoustic and pelagic ecosystem sampling capabilities. In particular the capability to deploy new acoustic and optical sampling technologies safely and to be able to carry out diel 24 hr sampling stations deploying a variety of sampling platforms. This will require the vessels operations to switch from gear types within a 12 hour cycle of CTD, net systems and lowered acoustic and optical technologies. To ensure a realistic simulation of procedures and processing of samples, work flows will be tested assuming collection of quality data sets. To safely work up towards full operational status, trials of equipment and procedures will be carried out in shallow water and once safe procedures and techniques have been established move to deeper water. Sampling to 2500 m will be attempted to trial net, CTD, acoustic, optical equipment capability. This will be targeted to a site of suspected elevated production. The vessels low noise capability will be tested and a reference noise signature obtained close to port to enable regular checks to be done in the future. The pelagic acoustic systems on the vessel will be calibrated and operated to ensure they can contribute to the IMOS bioacoustics facility. New acoustic systems on board will be operated and tested. Science Equipment and Operations: Develop and implement procedures and JHAs for scientific operations for the following: Calibration of Simrad EK60 and ME70 acoustic echosounders Noise ranging of the vessel Trials and deployments of the MIDOC, IKMT, EZ net systems Trials and deployment of DECAF and a profiling Acoustic Optical System Undertake two 24 hr stations to characterise the plankton to micronekton with acoustic, optical and biological sampling - includes CTD, Triaxis LOPC, drop net, side net, AOS, MIDOC, IKMT and EZ net systems. Investigate the deep water sampling capability to 2500 m for elevated production - CTD, EZ net, IKMT and Deep video. Trials of the Simrad ME70 and the multi-frequency classification of pelagic habitat using EK sounders and sub-bottom profiler Collect and process data and samples as for a research voyage to test laboratories, facilities and on board systems: Operation of wetlabs to process catches from plankton to micronekton with freeze and preservation capabilities (formaldehyde and alcohol) Photographic recordings including Kreisel tank. CTD biological sampling to estimate macro nutrients and bacteria and plankton communities
