NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette, Cruise SE-13-02, April 15, 2013 to April 29, 2013, waters off leeward (west coast) Maui, fisheries research

"The principal scientific objectives of the project were to research and develop methods to cross-compare or calibrate fishery-dependent (extractive) and fishery-independent (non-extractive) sampling methodologies for use in stock assessment. The extractive and non-extractive methods included EK60 active acoustics conducted from the Sette, AUV camera systems deployed from the Sette including a BlueView imaging sonar unit, baited underwater video camera systems (BotCam) from the partner charter vessel (Huki Pono from Sea Engineering chartered by UH Oceanography), and hook-and-line fishing from 4 partner charter vessels (PIFG charter vessels Hokuloa, Imua, and Naomi K)"--Page [3].
