Project aboard
This cruise surveys the pre-recruit and fully recruited segments of the Atlantic sea scallop resources from Virginia through Georges Bank, generating fishery independent estimates of biomass and size composition. These estimates are used to conduct a quantitative stock assessment for this species. We estimate 450 scallop dredge hauls, 150 CTD profiles, and towed HabCam.
