Since then there has been at least one annual hydroacoustic survey for herring and sprat stocks mainly for assessment purposes and results have been reported to ICES to be used for stock assessment (Hagström et al., 1991; ICES, 1994a, 1995a, 1995b; 2006; Gasyukov et al., 2009; Grygiel and Orłowski, 2009).
At the ICES Annual Science Conference in September 1997, the Baltic Fish Committee decided, that a manual for the International Baltic Acoustic Surveys (IBAS) should be elaborated. The structure of the manual follows that of the Baltic International Trawl Surveys (BITS). In order to obtain standardization for all ICES acoustic s.....
