Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | FRV Clupea (74CU) cruise 1303C |
|---|---|
| Short name | 1303C |
| Objectives and Narrative |
1. To obtain estimates of distribution and abundance of Nephrops in the North Minch and Moray Firth using underwater cameras.
2. To collect sediment samples at each station. 3. To use trawl caught samples of Nephrops to examine biological features at different sites throughout the survey areas. 4. The TV survey will also be used to collect data on other potential commercial species. 5. To make video observations of crab and lobster habitat using the drop frame, if time permits. |
