A team of scientists, technicians and student assistants from the Thünen Institute of Sea Fisheries are on their way again this year as part of the Internationally Co-ordinated Bottom Trawl Survey (IBTS) to investigate the most important commercial fish species in the North Sea and to make statements about the current stock development.
You can read more about their experiences on board in the Thünen Sea Blogs. You can also find more detailed information about these cruises on our IBTS research cruises page.
We wish our crew a safe journey!
