OSTI ID:10131482
Mobile hydroacoustic surveys are a recent addition to the sampling techniques available to fisheries biologists. Hydroacoustic techniques for fish stock assessment and monitoring are efficient in providingquantitative biomass estimates, absolute population estimates, fish distribution patterns, and size structure statistics. Other advantages of hydroacoustic surveys include a better method of sampling reservoir pelagic (open water) zones than is available with other techniques, collection of large amounts of data in a relatively short time allowing improved statistical interpretation and data comparisons, and non-destructive, non-invasive sampling that neither destroys the sampled fish nor disturbs the environment. The objective of this study is to use hydroacoustic techniques to estimate fish standing stocks (i.e., numbersand biomass) in several areas of selected Tennessee Valley Reservoirs as part of a base level monitoring program to assess long-term changes in reservoir water quality.
