A pilot acoustic survey for jack mackerel was carried out in South Taranaki Bight and Tasman Bay (JMA7) from 29 Jan - 7 Feb 2012 (TAN1202). The survey included 12 acoustic transects and 49 trawls in three strata. Schools were scattered over a wide area and exhibited diel migration, but there was no clear evidence of vessel avoidance. Mark identification trawling was complicated because of our inability to target and capture individual schools.
