The MEGS survey is carried out every three years. In 2022 there were ten participating countries. Each of the eight participating countries covered a certain area in a certain period. The Faroese research vessel R/V Jakup Sverri was out in the period 19 May to 31 May 2022. The main aim of the cruise is to investigate the number of mackerel eggs. The preliminary area is assigned in the Megs SISP manual ver 2.3, but as the results from cruises prior to the Faroese are ready, the area is always subject to change. The cruise went as planned and we were able to survey unhindered. |
