5. Additional sampling at Svinøy Macroplankton trawl for macroplankton and micronekton Mulitfrequency acoustics (fish, macroplankton, micronekton) ADCP Applied for two days extra on the Svinøy section for BASIN Standard program takes about two days... Challange: we do not know what ship will be used yet... GOSars about 25 berths for scientists. Standard IMR scientific crew on Standard sections are 4 persons. Johan Hjort ? Håkon Mosby ?

8. BASIN Cruise objectives T5.1.2 Spatial structure in small pelagic fish populations, Atlanto Scandic herring, blue whiting and mackerel Migration of herring in relation to zooplankton dynamics at the Arctic front Cruise activities will focus on the continuous monitoring of high resolution 3D distribution of hydrography, fluorescence, size resolved zooplankton, and fish.
