BODC Cruise Metadata Report for FRV Clupea (74CU) cruise 0504C

Introduction

This report collates information from the BODC cruise inventory and oceanographic databases. It presents

Cruise Inventory Information

Long name FRV Clupea (74CU) cruise 0504C
Short name 0504C
Objectives and Narrative 1. To investigate variation of sandeel population age structure at different locations on the Wee Bankie and Marr Bank from samples collected using the sandeel dredge.
2. To determine spatial variation in seawater temperature/salinity and chlorophyll across the study area using a Seabird CTD sampler.
3. To investigate potential new sites for sandeel dredging, using the sandeel dredge and day grab in the Firth of Forth.
