Objectives | Cruise programme was changed shortly before commencement and the Nephrops survey was transferred to cruise 6/65. The ship sailed to work on the herring-environmental stations in the Skagerrak and in the Norwegian Deeps. The herring survey was nearly completed but several stations had to abandoned due to bad weather. A trawling survey was undertaken but weather conditions made it difficult. |
