Cruise summary report
Cruise Info. | |
Ship name (ship code) | RV Corystes (74RY) |
Cruise identifier | COR2B/94 |
Cruise period | 1994-02-11 — 1994-02-25 |
Status | Completed |
Port of departure | Lowestoft, United Kingdom |
Port of return | Lowestoft, United Kingdom |
Purpose | Research |
Objectives | 1. To use sector scanning sonar to track migrating adult plaice equipped with long-life transponding acoustic tags. The timing of vertical movements of the fish will be related to local slack water by measuring directly the speeds and directions of tidal streams with an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP).
2. To assess the telemetry tag decoder and the upgrade (Systems Engineering Ltd) of scan converter and display. |
