Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | FRV Scotia (748S) cruise 1205S_1 |
|---|---|
| Short name | 1205S_1 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
1. To undertake demersal trawling survey of the Rockall haddock population.
2. To collect additional biological data in connection with the EU Data Directive 1639/2001. 3. To identify, quantify and record all benthic invertebrate species caught. 4. To obtain temperature and salinity data from the surface and seabed at each trawling station. 5. To investigate the occurrence of Nephrops on the east edge of the Rockall Plateau using a TV Sledge and Drop Frame. 6. To deploy a Drop Frame to ground truth Side Scan Sonar data and map the distribution and abundance of Lophelia beds on the Rockall Bank and the Anton Dohrn seamount. 7. To trial and evaluate the NOAA Bottom Contact Sensor. 8. To deploy 1 sub-surface mooring with 3 current meters whilst on passage from Rockall. |
