Figure 1 shows the course tracks and the fishing - and hydrographical stations worked in the area. Attempts were made to distribute the fishing stations so as to cover also the mid shelf in daytime. Some stations were worked at night for red spotted and pink shrimp and at about 700 m off the shelf for deep sea shrimp when time and bottom conditions permitted.
