The Anchovy Recruitment Survey on the Africana Voyage 081 was conducted from 07-12 May 1990. The objectives of the survey were to attain an estimation of the abundance and size-structure of anchovy recruits; describe the distribution and behaviour patterns of anchovy recruits and the influence of oceanographic variables on these; collect biological data on pelagic fish species; examine the distribution, abundance and production of zooplankton in relation to the environment, and to recruit distribution and condition; and the profiling of currents by means of the acoustic doppler current profiler.
Here we present processed Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) discrete data from the upcast collected between 07 and 12 May 1990, during voyage 081 on the FRS Africana, in the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem (BCLME) region on the west coast of Southern Africa. Neil Brown MK3 and MK4 CTD instruments were used to measure pressure, temperature and conductivity through the water column during research and monitoring cruises between 1983 and 2000.
