Recognition of the superior data and coverage from multibeam echosounders (MBES) has been widespread and is increasing rapidly. In addition to the significant value of ensonification of a swath as compared to a profile of bathymetric data, the acoustic data have been frequently presented as "psuedo-sidescan-sonar". Field programs conducted during 2001 using Reson MBES systems and TritonElics software gave us the opportunity to develop enhanced acoustic imagery by manipulation of the backscatter information within each MBES beam. This work has resulted in improved MBES data products using new acquisition and processing techniques.

Acoustic data collection during fishing activities can be used to obtain an abundance index. A simulation, calibrated against an experiment conducted during the Pictou, Nova Scotia, Canada, 1997 inshore herring fishery, is used to understand how survey design affects the properties of abundance indices derived from these data. Two fishing survey protocols and random and systematic transect surveys were simulated. During the complete fishing survey protocol, the simulated survey boat collected acoustic data before and after a management-imposed nightly boat limit was caught. In contrast, during the incomplete fishing survey protocol, data collection was terminated when the boat limit was caught. Properties of abundance indices derived from the fishing and transect surveys were examined over five levels of fish dispersion, two conditions of fish mobility, and in the presence and absence of concurrent fleet fishing. All indices were subject to change caused by changing fish dispersion, but only the incomplete fishing survey index was highly unsatisfactory. The complete fishing survey index is more susceptible to change than the transect indices but displays a lower sampling variation across conditions than the transect indices. We conclude that the complete fishing survey index is a viable alternative to the transect indices.

AbstractCurrent trends in sociophonetic data analysis indicate a shift to entirely automatic measurements of spectral properties using programs like Praat. While such practices are useful for the rapid collection of acoustic data from large corpora, they, by default do not permit human analysts to provide quality control or make hand corrected measurements when needed. Under ideal signal-to-noise conditions, such as in a sound-proof room, this may not be a problem. However, analysis of audio recordings made in acoustically-uncontrolled environments, like many standard sociolinguistic interviews, are arguably susceptible to spurious estimates using automated routines. This paper presents the results of a highly controlled noise-interference experiment designed to examine the effects of different types of noise at varying signal-to-noise levels on automated LPC-based vowel formant measurements made in Praat. Findings indicate that some noises are more detrimental than others, affect some formant frequencies more than others and that louder noises make it inappropriate to conduct an analysis of F1 and F2. Results are discussed and suggestions for better practices in recording sociolinguistic interviews for sociophonetic data collection are presented.
