Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | FRV Scotia (748S) cruise 0800S_2 |
|---|---|
| Short name | 0800S_2 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
1. To carry out deployment trials with the multicorer and large box corer.
2. To carry out deployment and recovery training with the ARIES sampler to reduce future damage to instrumentation. 3. To undertake training with the monkfish trawl at a variety of tension settings. 4. To carry out efficiency trials of the new sandeel dredge. 5. To install software on the Simrad SF950 sonar and to run acceptance tests on this unit. 6. To deploy the Reson Seabat 6012 multibeam sonar on the drop keel. 7. To undertake a variety of trials and tests of the full complement of existing acoustic equipment on FRV Scotia. 8. To check for interference between the RDI ADCP, the Furono Doppler current profiler and the individual items of Simrad acoustic equipment. 9. To calibrate all three EK500 transducers (38, 120 and 200 kHz) and the 18 kHz EA500 transducer. 10. To conduct a small-scale survey of sandeels on the Fair Isle Bank. 11. To collect multifrequency data (at four frequencies) and multibeam sonar data on sandeels to investigate the possibility of automatic species identification. 12. To investigate the emergent behaviour of sandeels. 13. To use the pelagic trawl and 1.8 m Methot net to identify acoustic targets. |
