Herring

Herring movie

"We were trying to understand the behavioral response
of overwintering herring to predators (sea lions in our case). The equipment was deployed from a vessel at
300+ ft to get the DIDSON and other equipment in the vicinity of the herring school. We collected data
(downward) from above the school and from within the school (downward and horizontal)." The data were collected near Juneau, Alaska in collaboration with the Alaska Fisheries Science Center in Auke Bay.
