• Description:
  The goal of the survey is to monitor and assess the abundance, population composition and recruitment of the offshore sea scallop (Placopecten magellanicus) resource. This species is assessed using a combination of dredge sampling and non-invasive optical survey methods. The results of the dredge survey are reported separately. The following data include the areas surveyed using a fiber-optic towed vehicle (HabCamV4) and two Tethys-class Long Range Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (hereafter LRAUVs), Stella and Polaris.
