1) Hydrography

• CDT profiles (temperature, salinity)
• Dissolved oxygen

 

 

2) Plankton

• fitoplankton (flourometric analyses of chlorophyll a concentrations; structure of fitoplankton community)
• zooplankton (structure of zooplankton community; food analyses of target fish species)

 

 

 

3) Small pelagic fish - target species (sardine, anchovy, sprat)

• sampling with mid-water trawl net
• sample structure analyses of target species

 

 

4) Acoustics

• sampling with scientific sounder SIMRAD EK60 (38kHz, split beam)
• acoustic post-processing – EchoView software
• GIS analyses (ArcView software)
