DR FRIDTJOF NANSEN 3/9/86

CECAF COOPERATIVE SURVEY 1986

Record of observations from DR FRIDTJOF NANSEN during
ship to ship calibration with LOUIS SAUGER on fish layers
2nd - 3rd August 1986.

Instruments: EK 400 38 kHz, QD integrator: auxiliary

instruments EK 400 120 kHz, QM integrators, ES 400 38 (split beam sounder) with color printer.

Integration over whole depth column with write-out each nautical mile. Units: 1/10 x m2/nm2.

Total values allocated on fish/plankton in accordance with information from ES 400 120 kHz - QM system with threshold and TS observations from ES 400.
