MAZOOPS goes out to sea with the Cal-Echoes Cruise |
Graduate students Christian Briseno and Lina Lawrence took the second version of our zooplaknton imaging sonar (MAZOOPS) out on the R/V Melville as part of the Cal-Echoes Research Program. This version of MAZOOPS provides high-resolution (~30 micron) optical images and high-frequency, broadband... |

MAZOOPS first deployment at sea |
We returned yesterday from the first deployment of the new MAZOOPS zooplankton sonar at sea. We were able to deploy the system several times per day, and collected nearly 100 GB of acoustic and image data from two different stations off the coast of San Diego. Deployments of the MAZOOPS were... |
ZOOPS:
 |
The ZOOplankton Sonar (ZOOPS) is a multiview, multimodal acoustic and optical zooplankton sonar system. It combines multiple, broadband acoustic sensors with a high-resolution camera and narrowband optical illumination. The system aims to provide enhanced information of zooplankton distributions in... |

MAZOOPS coming together for Sept. Cruise |
After more than a year of hard work, the Multiple Angle ZOOPlankton Sonar (MAZOOPS) is nearly ready for deployment at sea in September. On Friday we started the final assembly and will begin tank tests on Monday. |
FAD Sonar
 |
One of the major ways that large pelagic fish are being caught these days is via the use of Fish Aggregating Devices or FADs. Animals are attracted to almost any floating object and they can then be scooped up by large fishing nets after they have aggregated around them. This efficient form of... |

FAD sonar returns from one month on FLIP |
December 4, 2007 - The FAD Sonar just returned from a month long deployment on board of the R/P Flip. It was used as a suplemental instrument to measure fish and plankton aggregating around Flip during the FLIP07 SCORE experiment conducted by John Hildebrand and Elizabeth Henderson. We'd like to... |
