Ziel der Reise / Objectives of Cruise:

1. Monitoring of the demersal fish fauna in the German EEZ 2. Distribution of temperature and salinity in the area of investigation Objectives 1. Monitoring of the demersal fish fauna in the German EEZ 2. Distribution of temperature and salinity in the area of investigation Due to the test of the scientific crew and the crew on COVID-19 on the day of departure and the waiting time for the results, the scientific crew did not board the ship until the early morning of 29th December. A persistent storm front delayed the departure for another four days. FFS Solea left Cuxhaven on December 4th at around 6:00 o'clock am. In the following three days, stations west and north of Helgoland as well as off North and East Frisia were worked before Cuxhaven was sought out as a port of refuge from a storm. During the time in port, technical problems of the ship were to be fixed. After two days it turned out that the repair was no longer possible within the time available. Thus, the voyage was ended prematurely on 9 December. Dismantling and the return journey to Bremerhaven took place on 13 December.
