Processed CTD discrete observations from the Algoa Voyage 234, January 2017

SeaBird SBE911 plus Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) instruments were used to measure pressure, temperature and conductivity through the water column during research and monitoring cruises between 1983 and 2000. Here we present processed CTD discrete data from the upcast collected, between 13 January and 11 February 2017, during voyage 234 on the RV Algoa, in the Agulhas Current Large Marine Ecosystem (ACLME) on the south coast of South Africa.

Processed CTD continuous observations from the Anchovy Spawning Stock Survey on the Africana Voyage 038, November 1985

This is processed downcast Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) continuous data from the Anchovy Spawning Stock Survey on the Africana Voyage 038, collected between 11 and 29 November 1985. The cruise operated in the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem (BCLME) region on the west coast of South Africa and the Agulhas Current Large Marine Ecosystem (ACLME) on the south coast of South Africa. The objectives of this cruise were to assess the size of the anchovy spawning stock in Cape waters by acoustic survey and estimation of egg production; describe the distribution and behaviour of other pelagic and mesopelagic fish of commercial importance; describe anchovy spawning patterns and estimate the precision of the parameters used in assessing spawning stock size by the egg production method (sex ratio, spawning fraction, fecundity, mean weight); and to investigate relationships between the distribution of pelagic fish, eggs and water temperature.

Processed CTD continuous observations from the South Coast Hake Biomass on the Africana Voyage 036, October 1985

This is processed downcast Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) continuous data from the South Coast Hake Biomass on the Africana Voyage 036, collected between 15 and 26 October 1985. The cruise operated in the Agulhas Current Large Marine Ecosystem (ACLME) region on the south coast of South Africa. The first objective of this cruise was to establish, by means of surveying and trawling between 200m and 500m water depths, the feasibility of extending the hake biomass surveys to the South Coast. The area 20 E to 25 E, from 75m to 200m water depths, has already been covered during biomass surveys by Japanese research vessels, accompanied on each occasion by one of the Institute's scientists. The feasibility of trawling shallower than 200m in this region, albeit with heavy gear, has thus already been established. The second objective was to investigate, by trawling, the depth distribution of squid in the area 23 30'E and 24 30'E, from as close as possible to the coast (i.e. as shallow...
