Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s ship F.G. Creed<\/em> is in the Estuary this week for its eighth annual acoustic survey<\/a> aimed at identifying populations of forage species that whales prey on. The scientific team aboard the ship consists of Ian McQuinn<\/a> and Pierre Joly of the Maurice Lamontagne Institute \/ Fisheries and Oceans Canada.<\/p>\n

This mission is part of the Species at Risk Program, in a project that examines the role of forage species in the distribution of whales in the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence. One of the objectives is to determine the distribution densities of zooplankton, particularly krill, and small pelagic fish and, at the same time, establish a quantitative index of stocks of different species of krill. This information will be used to generate temporal and spatial distribution maps of the rorquals’ prey in an effort to map out the feeding areas of these giants.<\/p>\n

In addition to probing the water column with a multi-frequency echo sounder, a zooplankton net is used to sample the small organisms detected by this instrument. This net, called Jacknet<\/em>, is equipped with a strobe \u2013 an intermittent light source \u2013 which helps capture the various species of krill more efficiently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
