| Status | Completed |
| Port of departure | Lowestoft, United Kingdom |
| Port of return | Lowestoft, United Kingdom |
| Purpose | Research |
| Objectives | 1. To track plaice fitted with transponding acoustic tags and simulataneously measure the speed and direction of the tidal stream with an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP).
2. To compare measurements made by the ADCP with measurements made by recording current meters and DRCM's. 3. To test and use pressure sensitive telemetry tags as part of the Data Storage Tag development programme. 4. To collect live plaice for the Data Storage Tag development programme. |
