Objective Autonomous dives and dredging for marine invertebrates samples to look for bioactive substances. The cruise is associated with the UR 043 project on pharmacochemistry of natural substances. Some fifty marine invertebrates were sampled. A 26-min film relating the first few days of the cruise was shot for Thalassa, the weekly marine-oriented TV documentary program. The mission ended three days earlier than planned due to technical problems.
