Table S.1 defines the surface coordinates of the Alve NE proposed well locations. The survey was conducted onboard the MV Fugro Meridian during the survey period 27 September to 6 October 2019. Table S.1: Proposed Well Locations, Alve NE Geodetic Parameters: ED50 (North of 62°N) UTM Zone 32N, CM 9°E Easting Northing Location Latitude Longitude [m] [m] Alve NE proposed well location 454 055.0 7 327 272.0 66° 03′ 39.765″ N 007° 59′ 07.031″ W Alve NE alternative well location 453810.0 7 326 981.5 66° 03′ 30.255″ N 007° 58′ 47.975″ W Survey Strategy The objective of the environmental survey was to acquire sufficient data to describe the sensitive habitats and species that may occur at the proposed well location (PWL), alternative well location, and nearby potential areas of interest identified from the geophysical survey data. The most relevant sensitive habitats for the current survey are ‘cold-water corals’, ‘coral gardens’ and ‘deep-sea sponge aggregations’ as well as other vulnerable species associated with them. If any such habitats were discovered, a sensitive habitat assessment was to be carried out according to Norwegian guidelines and standards. Bathymetry Depths across the survey area ranged from approximately 355 m Mean Sea Level (MSL) at the top of the shoulder of an iceberg ploughmark to 380 m MSL at an iceberg ploughmark crossing. Seabed Features The seabed throughout the survey area was heavily scarred with iceberg ploughmarks, which had widths of up to 140 m and depths of up to 15 m. Two pipelines were observed within the survey area, the closest to the PWL is approximately 2898 m to the south-south-east and one cable was observed approximately 2971 m to the south- south-east of PWL. Seabed Habitats The sediment observed across the survey area was predominately muddy sand/sandy mud with occasional and varying proportions of coarser sediments (pebbles, cobbles and boulders) . This corresponded to the EUNIS level 3 habitat ‘Deep-sea mud’ (A6.5). Patches of pebbles, cobbles and boulders corresponded to the EUNIS level 3 habitat ‘Deep-sea mixed substrata’ (A6.2). The dominant epifauna included faunal turf (Hydrozoa/Bryozoa), gorgonian coral (Paragorgia arborea), stalked sponges (Stylocordyla borealis), mud-covered sponges (possible Biemnidae/Thethyidae/Tetillidae/Theneidae), encrusting sponges (including Hymedesmia paupertas and Aplysilla sulfurea), glass sponges (Hexactinellida), erect sponges (including Geodia sp., Polymastia sp., Axinellidae, Phakelia sp. and Mycale lingua), sea pens (Kophobelemnon stelliferum and Virgularia sp.), tube worms (Serpulidae), anemones (Actiniaria, including Fugro Report No. 133392.V01 Page ii of vi AKERBP ASA SITE SURVEY AT ALVE NE, NCS 6607/12 AND 6608/10, ABP19307 Bolocera tuediae), sea cucumbers (Parastichopus tremulus), cushion star (Valvatida), feather star (Crinoidea), sea urchin (Echinoidea), squat lobster (Munida sp.), shrimp (Caridea) and Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus). Fish recorded in the survey area included saithe (Pollachius virens), haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus), Norway pout (Trisopterus esmakii), ling (Molva molva), greater forkbeard (Phycis blennoides), torsk (Brosme brosme), four spot megrim (Lepidorhombus boscii) and rabbitfish (Chimaera monstrosa). Potentially Sensitive Habitats or Species The density of soft-bottom sponges ranged from ‘no sponges/single specimen’ to ‘scattered’ (1 % to 5 % cover). Hard-bottom sponges were observed across the survey area predominantly as either ‘no sponges/single specimens’ or ‘scattered’ (1 % to 5 % cover). To represent the OSPAR habitat ‘Deep-sea sponge aggregations’ soft-bottom sponges must be classified as ‘high’ (> 10 %) density. No areas of soft-bottom sponges were recorded as ‘high’ (> 10 % cover) within the survey area and therefore the sponge communities recorded across the Alve NE survey area do not constitute the OSPAR (2010a) listed habitat ‘Deep-sea sponge aggregations’. The gorgonian coral Paragorgia arborea was the only cold-water coral species observed across the survey area and was categorised as either a ‘single specimen’ or ‘poor’ (< 5 coral colonies per 25 m2). No areas were classified as ‘good’ or ‘excellent’ across the Alve NE survey area. Sea pens and the burrows of burrowing megafauna were observed throughout the survey area. Areas were recorded as predominately ‘absent’ or ‘poor’ (< 5 sea pens per 25m2) on all transects.. The highest density occurred along a short section (17 m) of transect TR11 where sea pens were recorded as ‘fair’ (5 to 10 sea pens per 25 m2). The gorgonian coral Paragoriga arborea is currently listed as ‘Near threatened’ on the Norwegian Red List. Within the family Sebastidae (redfish) there are three possible species occurring in Norwegian waters and Sebastes norvegicus is listed as ‘Endangered’. The rest of the taxa recorded in the Alve NE survey area were assessed as ‘Least concern’ or ‘not evaluated’. No other sensitive habitats or species were identified from either the geophysical or photographic data.

CALIFORNIA MARINE FISH LANDINGS FOR 1972 LEO PINKAS Marine Resources Region 1.1. INTRODUCTION The protection, propagation, and wise utilization of California's living marine resources (established as common property by statute, Section 1600, Fish and Game Code) is dependent upon the welding of biological, environment- al, economic, and sociological factors. Fundamental to each of these factors, as well as the entire management pro- cess, are harvest records. The California Department of Fish and Game began gathering commercial fisheries land- ing data in 1916. Commercial fish catches were first published in 1929 for the years 1926 and 1927. This report, the 32nd in the landing series, is for the calendar year 1972. It summarizes commercial fishing activities in marine as well as fresh waters and includes the catches of the sportfishing partyboat fleet. Preliminary landing data are published annually in the circular series which also enumerates certain fishery products produced from the catch.

  • Hierarchical Fish Species Detection in Real-Time Video Using YOLO
    Hierarchical Fish Species Detection in Real-Time Video Using YOLO ESPEN STAUSLAND KALHAGEN, ØRJAN LANGØY OLSEN SUPERVISOR Morten Goodwin University of Agder, 2020 Faculty of Engineering and Science Department of Information and Communication Technology Abstract Information gathering of aquatic life is often based on time consuming methods with a foundation in video feeds. It would be beneficial to capture more information in a cost effective manner from video feeds, and video object detection has an opportunity to achieve this. Recent research has shown promising results with the use of YOLO for object detection of fish. As under-water conditions can be difficult and fish species hard to discrimi- nate, we propose the use of a hierarchical structures in both the classification and the dataset to gain valuable information. With the use of hierarchical classification and other techniques we present YOLO Fish. YOLO Fish is a state of the art object detector on nordic fish species, with an mAP of 91.8%. For a more stable video, YOLO Fish can be used with the object tracking algorithm SORT. This results in a complete fish detector for real-time video. 1 Table of Contents 1 Introduction 5 1.1 Problem Statement . .5 1.2 Contributions . .6 2 Background 7 2.1 Convolutional Neural Networks . .7 2.2 You Only Look Once (YOLO) . .8 2.2.1 The Architecture . .9 2.2.2 Activations and Weight Initialization . 10 2.2.3 Prediction and Priors . 11 2.2.4 Loss Function . 14 2.3 Hierarchical Classification in YOLO . 15 2.4 NMS and Soft-NMS .

Reid, and Noele Weemes Auke Bay Laboratory Alaska Fisheries Science Center National Marine Fisheries Service National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 11305 Glacier Highway Juneau, Alaska 99801-8626 February 2006 iii ABSTRACT In 1967 and 1968, scientists from the National Marine Fisheries Service’s Auke Bay Laboratory carried out four surveys of marine fauna in Katlian Bay, near Sitka, Alaska as part of an impact study associated with plans to build a wood pulp processing plant in the bay. Here we report the results of our surveys and also provide a broad literature review on several of the species that were captured in the bay. Fifty-nine fish species and more than 44 invertebrate species (32 identified to species level (see page 8) were captured. Habitats examined were intertidal, the steep sides of the bay, and the bay’s deep central basin. Many species occupied a single habitat type but others overlapped into adjacent habitats. Five fish species were collected in the intertidal zone and major invertebrate fauna included the sunflower star (Pycnopodia helianthoides) and numerous members of Gastropoda. Thirty-nine fish and 23 invertebrate species were collected on the bay’s sides below 5 m.

  • Habitat and Fauna of Deep-Water Lophelia Pertusa Coral Reefs Off the Southeastern U.S.: Blake Plateau, Straits of Florida, and Gulf of Mexico
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 78(2): 343–375, 2006 CORAL REEF PAPER Habitat anD Fauna of Deep-Water LOPHELIA PERTUSA CORAL Reefs off the Southeastern U.S.: BlaKE Plateau, Straits of FloriDA, anD Gulf of MEXico John K. Reed, Doug C. Weaver, and Shirley A. Pomponi Abstract Expeditions from 1999 to 2004 for biomedical research explored various deep-sea coral ecosystems (DSCE) off the southeastern U.S. (Blake Plateau, Straits of Florida, and eastern Gulf of Mexico). Habitat and benthos were documented from 57 dives with human occupied submersibles and three with a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), and resulted in ~100 hrs of videotapes, 259 in situ digital images, 621 muse- um specimens, and > 400 microbial isolates. These were the first dives to document the habitat, benthic fauna, and fish diversity of some of these poorly known deep- water reefs. Fifty-eight fish species and 142 benthic invertebrate taxa were identi- fied. High-definition topographic SEABEAM maps and echosounder profiles were also produced. Sites included in this report range from South Carolina on the Blake Plateau to the southwestern Florida slope: 1) Stetson Lophelia reefs along the east- ern Blake Plateau off South Carolina; 2) Savannah Lophelia lithoherms along the western Blake Plateau off Georgia; 3) east Florida Lophelia reefs, 4) Miami Terrace escarpment in the Straits of Florida; 5) Pourtalès Terrace off the Florida Keys; and 6) west Florida Lophelia lithoherms off the southwestern Florida shelf in the Gulf of Mexico. These are contrasted with the azooxanthellate deep-water Oculina reefs at the shelf-edge off central eastern Florida.
