Ziel der Reise / Objectives of Cruise:

Objectives: 1. Obtain an age stratified biomass estimate of the spawning stock of blue whiting. 2. Cover an acoustic track from 51N to 56N, with a transect spacing of 40 miles. 3. Perform intercalibration with RV Johan Hjort (IMR, Bergen, Norway) and other survey vessels if possible. 4. Carry out fishing in each box (1 degree longitude * 2 degrees latitude). 5. Recover 2 ADCP moorings on the western slopes of the Porcupine Bank. 6. Collect biological and acoustic data on mesopelagic fishes and the deep scattering layers (time permitting).
