Abstract:
The development of underwater optical and acoustic technology has evolved rapidly throughout the 20th century. However due to a lack of data, scientific surveys and stock assessment models have traditionally relied on simplified assumptions of fish behavior. While there is a general understanding that fish have well developed sensory systems, mobile capacity and complex life histories, the lack of information often precludes its use in assumptions of gear catchability, survey design, and spatial and temporal population dynamics. The advancement and incorporation of observational technology allows fisheries researchers to improve our understanding of fish behavior. The results can be seen in the development of enhanced fishing technology, improved assumptions of survey gear catchability and novel survey methodologies. This dissertation focuses on the application of novel technologies to improve our understanding of fish behavior and ecology, with the goal of improving monitoring and management.
The dissertation includes the development of survey technology to study the distribution of structure-oriented black sea bass in southern Massachusetts
using stereoscopic underwater video systems. This research is in response to concerns that the current regional survey methodologies do not adequately
sample all fish populations. Similarly, several recent studies indicate that our understanding of river herring migration may be biased by existing sampling
techniques. A high-resolution acoustic imaging was thus used to study the migratory behavior of anadromous river herring during their spring spawning run
to provide insight into river herring migratory behavior and the effect of environmental variables on movement. The behavioral data will then be used to
investigate the bias and precision of current sampling methodologies, thereby improving the estimates of run size in river herring. Finally, the use of high-resolution acoustics to study the impacts anthropogenic structures on migratory fish movement will also be reported and included in the dissertation.
