Abstract The Anchovy Recruitment Survey was conducted on the Africana Voyage 073 from 8 - 22 June 1989. The survey objectives were to assess anchovy recruitment strength in South African waters in order to recommend a final quota for the 1989 RSA anchovy fishing season; to collect data for the determination of the target strength of anchovy and other pelagic and mesopelagic species; to collect data on shoaling behaviour of pelagic fish, specifically anchovy, pilchard and red-eye; to investigate relationships between the distribution of pelagic fish, zooplankton and water temperature; to determine standing stocks of phytoplankton and zooplankton in different regions and to estimate copepod secondary production in these regions through egg-production and moulting rate experiments.
