South Coast Demersal Biomass Survey on the Africana Voyage 111, April 1993
The South Coast Biomass Survey on the Africana Voyage 111 was conducted from 15 April 1993 to May 12 1993. The main objectives of the cruise were 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; to investigate the hydrology and current profiles of the South Coast and to relate this to the distribution of the major demersal trawl species. This included five transects...
South Coast Demersal Biomass Survey on the Africana Voyage 086, September 1990
South Coast Demersal Biomass Survey was conducted on the Africana Voyage 086 from 07 September - 02 October 1990. The objectives of the cruise were to survey by means of bottom trawling (under 200 m) the abundance and distribution of adult and juvenile hake, sole, squid, horse mackerel and other demersal target species and to make biomass estimates of each; to study the hydrological environment using the CTD and ADCP and to relate this information to the catches of hake , sole, squid, horse...
Anchovy Recruitment Survey on the Africana Voyage 103, May 1992
The Anchovy Recruitment Survey was conducted on the Africana Voyage 103 from 12 - 28 May 1992. The main objectives of the cruise were to estimate the abundance and size-structure of anchovy and pilchard recruits; to describe the distribution and behaviour patterns of anchovy and pilchard recruits and the influence of oceanographic variables on these; to collect biological data on pelagic fish species and to examine the distribution, abundance and production of plankton in relation to the...
Anchovy Recruitment Survey on the Africana Voyage 112, May 1993
The Anchovy Recruitment Survey on the Africana Voyage 112 was conducted from 18 May 1993 to June 05 1993. The main objectives of the cruise were to estimate the abundance and size-structure of anchovy and pilchard recruits; to describe the distribution and anchovy and pilchard recruits and the influence of oceanographic variables on these. To collect biological data on pelagic fish species and to examine the distribution, abundance and production of plankton in relation to the environment...
Winter Shakedown Cruise on SA Agulhas II Voyage 003, July 2012
The Winter Shakedown Cruise was conducted on the SA Agulhas II, Voyage 003, 9 July to 6 August, 2012.

After the arrival of SA Agulhas II back to South Africa, an inaugural Southern Ocean cruise was undertaken, which included a multidisciplinary program to measure oceanographic and biological parameters that characterise the state of the...
Gough Island Relief on the SA Agulhas II Voyage 017, September 2015
The Gough Island Relief Voyage is an annual cruise undertaken by the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) to change the overwintering team in Gough Island and to replenish the supplies at the British’s leased Gough Island Research base. The cruise also serves as a means to transport the residents and/or visitors to Tristan da Cunha using a signed agreement between South Africa and United Kingdom (UK). This voyage was to deliver the Gough 61 team to the island and return with the Gough...
