Solea, 699. Reise

Dauer: 

Fahrtgebiet: Ostsee

Zweck der Reise: Baltic International Acoustic Survey

In the frame of the ICES coordinated “Baltic International Acoustic Survey”, Germany annually conducts a hydroacoustic survey in September and October to assess the clupeid stocks in the Baltic Sea.

The aim of the cruise is to complement these existing monitoring programmes with an additional investigation during the spring spawning migration period to reveal migration and pre-spawning aggregation patterns of spring spawning herring in the Western Baltic Sea. The research is performed within the EU Project BIO-C³, where herring biology and migration patterns are one important task to cover. Furthermore, we intend to perform an ichtyoplankton sampling focusing on the distribution of herring larvae in the western Baltic Sea.
