South Coast Inshore Demersal Biomass and Horse Mackerel Acoustic Survey on the Africana Voyage 125, September 1994

The South Coast Inshore Demersal Biomass and Horse Mackerel Acoustic Survey was conducted on the Africana 125 from 21 September to 18 October 1994. The primary objective is to conduct a stratified bottom trawl survey to assess the biomass, abundance and distribution of hake, sole, horse mackerel, squid and other trawl species on the Agulhas Bank up to 200m, but biased in terms of number of stations in depths up to 120m.

Processed CTD discrete observations from the South Coast Inshore Demersal Biomass and Horse Mackerel Acoustic Survey on the Africana Voyage 125, September 1994

Here we present processed Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) discrete data from the upcast collected between 21 September and 18 October 1994, during Voyage 125 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.
