Description:The EP 19-01 Surfclam and Ocean Quahog Survey cruise period was from 1 – 13 August 2019 and was conducted in three parts: Part I was from 1 – 5 August 2019, Part II was from 6 - 10 August 2019, and Part III was from 11 - 13 August 2019. The area of operation was Georges Bank. The objectives of the survey were to: (1) determine the distribution, relative abundance and obtain biological data for surfclams (Spisula solidissima) and ocean quahogs (Arctica islandica); (2) collect dredge performance readings on each dredge haul by deploying a set of archiving, multi-sensor sampling devices attached to the commercial clam dredge; (3) collect adductor muscle meat weights and shells from surfclams and ocean quahogs on a subset of station locations.
