PIFSC cruise report ; CR-09-007

"Trawl and conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) testing operations were conducted at various Shakedown sites near the island of Oahu. The calibration of the Simrad EK60 echosounder s transducers was performed at Kealakekua Bay. Oceanographic operations consisted of CTD casts to 1000 m at Shakedown sites and at predetermined stations along a transect line along the 158°W meridian (Fig. 1). Water samples were collected at predetermined stations using Niskin bottles for later laboratory analysis of chlorophyll a and chloropigments. Bioacoustic backscatter and currents were continuously monitored during the entire cruise.
