No results found.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: -
No Thumbnail AvailableProjectThe Pelagic and Demersal Fish Resources of North East Somalia - Results of two surveys with R/V Dr. Fridtjof Nansen in 1984. Final Report 1984
Also available in:
No results found.Since the International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE, 1959-65), which produced abundant data on the oceanographic and biological environment, the seas off North East Somalia have been known to belong to the high productive areas of the world in terms of primary and secondary production, due to the seasonal upwelling occurring in the area. Even though direct data on fish resources were missing, it was assumed that the area could hold considerable fish resources. Based on the findings f rom IIOE, a joint programme between the Norwegian Agency for International Development (NORAD) and the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) was set up to investigate the fish resources of the Arabian Sea. In the period from January 1975 to November 1976 the R/V “Dr. Fridtjof Nansen” carried out five coverages of the coastal waters from Pakistan to Somalia. Based on the acoustic data collected during these surveys, the fish resources of Somalia were estimated to the avera ge level of 570 thousand tonnes for the small pelagic fish and 400 thousand tonnes for demersal fish, making it one of the most productive areas in the Indian Ocean. The dominating part of the pelagic stock was located between Ras Hafun and Ras Asir, which is also the center of the upwelling system. During the years 1983-84 the vessel returned to the region under the UNDP/FAO programme GLO/82/001 “Survey and identification of World Marine Resources”, with the purpose of investigating the hi gh productive regions located during the 1975-76 surveys. In agreement with the Ministry of Fisheries in Mogadishu two coverages of the region between Ras Asir and Ras Mabber were planned for February and August 1984. The main objectives of these surveys were to update the previous findings and provide more detailed information on the state of the resources with a more intensive sampling programme than during the earlier surveys. -

Also available in:
No results found.Under the UNDP/FAO Global Programme (GLO/82/001) the fishery research vessel “Dr. Fridtjof Nansen” has carried out several surveys in the North Arabian Sea during 1983-84. The third cruise in Pakistan waters under this project was carried out in June 1984. The vessel entered the western Pakistan border on 2 June at 2200 hours on its way to Karachi, and terminated the cruise at the same border on 12 June 0900 hours. The local scientists from the Marine Fisheries Department, Karachi, entered the vessel in Karachi on 3 June, and left the vessel in Gwadar on June 11.
