Summer Groundfish Survey Schedule
- Point of Contact
-
The survey follows a predetermined stratified random survey designed to sample fish and invertebrates in trawls, bongo and neuston nets, and to acquire environmental data with an environmental profiler at stations located east of the Mississippi River and in the area between the 10 and 200 m isobaths from Brownsville, Texas eastward to the Mississippi River. The profiler is equipped with sensors to measure water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, fluorescence, and transmittance continuously from the surface to the sea bottom.
The initial leg of the 2012 summer groundfish survey will begin on Thursday, June 7th and will survey the area from Brownsville to Corpus Christi, TX. Two additional cruise legs are planned for the area from Corpus Christi to the mouth of the Mississippi River.
Please Note - The schedule will be updated as required due to weather or equipment related delays.
