Synopsis (short abstract) The fishery research vessel «Dr. Fridtjof Nansen” belongs to the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD). It was designed and built for scientific and exploratory investigations of fishery resources of developing countries, under a joint plan with the Fisheries Department of FAO. A list of the vessels operational assignment from 1975 to 1987 is shown on the back cover. The Institute of Marine Research, Bergen is under a subcontract with NORAD responsible for the operation of the vessel, and the various research programmes were planned and conducted jointly with FAO and the relevant fisheries research organizations in the countries concerned. Results of the previous surveys have been presented in a number of cruise-and progress reports under each programme.

The research vessel “Dr. Fridtjof Nansen” is scheduled to undertake several fishery resources surveys in the North Arabian Sea during 1983-84. These investigations are part of the UNDP/FAO Global Programme GLO/82/001. The first cruise in Pakistani waters under this programme was carried out in September 1983. The survey programme included acoustical survey for the purpose of mapping fish distribution and abundance estimation, trawling for identification of echo recordings, biological sampli ng and hydrographic observations. “Dr. Fridtjof Nansen” carried out similar surveys in Pakistani waters during the North Arabian Sea Programme in 1975-76 and during the Joint NORAD/Pakistan Project from January to June 1971. The results from these investigations have been presented in cruise reports as well as in summary reports. The present survey was carried out during the period 19 January to 2 February 1984. Cruise tracks and the stations worked out appear in Figure 1. The sci entific staff consisted of the following: From Institute of Marine Research, Bergen, Norway:
