Enter ASL’s 2020 Early Career Scientist Contest

ASL

ASL‘s 2020 Early Career Scientist Contest is now open. The goal of this program is to support the oceanographic and limnological research community by lending, free of charge, a calibrated battery-powered Acoustic Zooplankton Fish Profiler (AZFP) (either 125/200/455/769-kHz or 38/125/200/455-kHz configuration), plus mooring cage and battery fora three-month maximum deployment period, along with the support from ASL’s team of experts.

ASL Hires New Acoustics Scientist to Manage Zooplankton Fish Profiler

ASL appointed Dr. Steve Pearce to the position of acoustics scientist. Pearce brings more than a decade of experience in underwater acoustics R&D to the ASL team. He earned his Ph.D. at Simon Fraser University in 2014, where his studies focused on sidescan sonar signal processing to suppress multipath interference in the context of a multi-angle swath bathymetry array. The

Japanese Fisheries Groups Use Solar-Powered Datalogger to Track Zooplankton

The National Research Institute of Fisheries Engineering (NRIFE) of the Japan Fisheries Research and Education Agency (FRA) will this spring deploy an ASL Environmental Sciences solar-powered datalogger with a cellular modem. The deployment of this system follows FRA’s use of the ASL multifrequency acoustic zooplankton fish profiler (AZFP) in Yamada Bay, 450 km north of Tokyo, since 2013. The data they
