Objective | The BERYX cruises are performed in the general framework of studying fisheries resources on seamounts located to the south east of New Caledonia which were commercially fished over a four-year period (bottom longlines: 8,000 hooks / day). Their aim is to specify: 1) some biological aspects of species of commercial interest (target species: Beryx splendens); 2) some environmental characteristics (topography of seamounts and influence on the thermohaline environment of water bodies). |
