Departure point: Denmark !

A team of scientists, technicians and student assistants from the Thünen Institute of Sea Fisheries is on its 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.

Check out the Thünen Sea Blog to read more about their experiences on board. You can also find more detailed information about these cruises on our IBTS research cruises page.

We wish our crew a safe journey!
