| Abstract | The South Coast Demersal Biomass Survey on the Africana Voyage 082 was conducted from 23 May - 13 June 1990. The objectives of the cruise were to survey by bottom-trawling the abundance of adult and recruiting hake, sole and other trawl target species; to make experimental bottom-trawls in deep water to establish the limit of hake distribution, and to collect deep-water specimens of fish and squid; to investigate the environment and ecological interrelationships of hake and other demersal species in the various depth strata; to study demersal community relationships; to investigate the occurrence, distribution and abundance of squid and squid larvae; to investigate the occurrence of line fish species in shallow waters; to study the biology of sharks and skates; to study the biology of kob; and to train senior staff and oceanographic research assistants. |
