MES200101. Megisti Star 28kHz Furuno Acoustic Data, July 2001. St Patricks Head and St Helens Hill roughy grounds

Created 25/06/2025

Updated 25/06/2025

Opportunistic collection of acoustic data from 28kHz fisheries sounders using Echolistener digitisers from the Megisti Star at the peak of spawning period at St Helens Hill and St Patricks Head to provide extra information over that key time period. A continuation of the 1999 acoustic survey of St Helens Hill where Southern Surveyor and the industry vessel Saxon Progress participated in acoustic surveying of orange roughy stocks (see Marlin record number 5545).
