The Horse Mackerel Hydroacoustic Survey was conducted on the Africana Voyage 107 from 07-23 October 1992. The objectives of the survey were to obtain a hydroacoustic estimate of horse mackerel abundance in the area between East London and Mossel Bay; to obtain acoustic estimates of anchovy and pilchard abundance east of Mossel Bay to assist in the design of the pelagic spawner biomass survey in November; to obtain a target strength/length relationship for horse mackerel and target strength data for anchovy and pilchard; to collect biological data pertaining to horse mackerel; to investigate the foraging behaviour of horse mackerel and food preference of pilchard; to test for relationships between horse mackerel movement and near-surface and mid-water currents, and to add to the ADCP data base for the southeast coast; to measure thermal salinity structure of the water column and to measure basic biotic parameters (oxygen, nutrient and chlorophyll); to collect data from the...
Here we present processed downcast Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) continuous data collected, between 07 October and 23 October 1992, during voyage 107 on the FRS Africana, in the Agulhas Current Large Marine Ecosystem (ACLME) on the south 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.
