| Abstract | The Pelagic Pre-Recruit Survey was conducted on the Africana Voyage 143 from 6 March to 27 March 1997. The objectives of the cruise were to profile currents by means of the Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP); to estimate the biomass and population structure of pelagic pre-recruit fish off the West Coast by means of echo integration and midwater trawling; to investigate the extent of pelagic pre-recruit distribution and biomass index between Cape Columbine and Cape Infanta; to collect biological material for condition studies on pelagic pre-recruits; to collect ichthyoplankton samples and hydrological data along the weekly SARP line; to collect rock lobster phyllosoma and pueruli larvae for bioenergetic studies; and to collect environmental data. |
