Objective The main objectives of this cruise were: on tuna exploration in the northern Indian Ocean, on the search for trawlable resources in zones located within 200 miles, in particular on the continental shelf of Pakistan and Iran (Arabian Sea) as well as in the waters of French territory, the Afars and the Issas. The work has been carried out with the aim of studying the possibilities of possible diversification of French fisheries towards this region.
