Summary of measurements

-Sytematic echointegration (performed at 8 knots, on shore-offshore legs perpendicular to the coast and spaced apart).
-Trawl hauls to identify echoes (43 performed, 5 of which using the 4FF).
-Biometry of pelagic species.
-Bathymetric (T, S) profiles taken at the end of each trawl haul (47 CTD casts) and at the end of each leg.
-Continuous T (Temperature) and S (Salinity) recorded at subsurface (2,176 NM).
-Continuous recording of echograms sent by 38, 70, 120 and 200 kHz sounders (2,176 NM).
-Anchovy and sardine otholith samples taken and included with EUKITT (400 samples, taken in 13 hauls).
-Otolith samples collected and biometry measured for 300 hake.
