Résultats de la mission exploratoire d'hydroacoustique concernant le capelan (Mallotus villosus) de la côte ouest de Terre-Neuve.
By F. Grégoire, Y. Samson
Abstract
A capelin exploratory acoustic survey was conducted in 1998 on the west coast of Newfoundland. Between June 6 and June 10, 29 transects were completed and schools of fish were detected in each occasion. The schools were characterized by different geometries and those believed to be capelin were located between the thermoclin and the surface. It was not possible to determine the exact composition of these schools by the acquisition of commercial fish samples because the spawn and the fishery, which is directed essentially on mature females, were not started yet at the time of the survey.
