Tasks

ICES Working Group on Fisheries Acoustics, Science and Technology (WGFAST)

The group has been a key in developing acoustic trawl surveys, and throughout its lifetime the focus has shifted from solving the technical challenges of reliable acoustic measurements to the use of acoustics to observe key biological parameters such as biomass indices, behavioural metrics, and acoustic species classification. It has recently expanded its core activities to include the use of acoustics to study marine ecosystems on a wide range of observation platforms.
