Abstract The South-east Atlantic Expedition was conducted on the Africana Voyage 071 from 4 April - 2 May 1989. The South-east Atlantic Expedition had as its main objectives the investigation of the distribution and abundance of phyllosoma larvae of Jasus in the Cape Basin, a comparative study of larval recruitment of Jasus tristani and Jasus lalandii, and the investigation of the circulation in, and ventilation of, the south western Cape Basin. The work was aimed at improving the understanding of the dynamics, in particular recruitment, of rock lobsters in the South-east Atlantic, and at furthering knowledge about some key large scale physical processes which are thought to be important in regulating the distribution and abundance of a number of exploited stocks in the Benguela region.
