South Coast Hake Biomass on the Africana Voyage 036, October 1985

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 as possible) to a depth of 500m.

West Coast Physical Oceanography on the Africana Voyage 025, October 1984

The objectives of this cruise included studying shelf circulation in the vicinity of Port Nolloth by placing three current meter moorings across the shelf; exploring the deep circulation in the Cape Basin which is thought to be a driving mechanism for the preponderance of southward flow observed on the shelf by placing a current meter in 3000m of water; recovering one current meter in the Cape Canyon and deploying two current meter moorings and a thermistor string near Cape Columbine and obtaining Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) data at these sites; collecting chemical samples and CTD data along a line between Port Nolloth to the deep current meter site, this included 100ml samples for analysis by M.J. Orren on routine CTD casts; a line of six coastal CTD stations was to be worked in the Hondeklipbaai upwelling tongue; the surface flow over the 1000m contour was to be studied using an acoustic drifter and samples were to be taken at various CTD stations for nitrogen cycling studies.
