Herring

"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.
