Survey Strategy

The vessel survey area to be divided into two sectors viz., Lat.

• 08°N-13°N and lat 13°N to 18°N. Vessel to cover each sector as
• per the distribution of sampling efforts table.

Physical targets per cruise

Days out at sea : 20
Fishing days : 14/16
Hooks per set : 625

Distribution of sampling efforts:

Sector	Area	Month	No. of sets per cruise
I	Lat. 08°N-13°N	5,7,11,1,3	14
II	Lat. 13°N to 18°N	6,8,10,12,2	16

Survey area: Lat. 8° N -18°N

Collection of Environmental Data

Besides the catch data and biological data being collected in long-line survey, data on environmental parameters will be collected as follows:

• Salinity, Temperature and Depth (STD) data, per day per set.
• Sea Surface Temperature (SST) data at hourly interval from the commencement to completion of voyage.
• Data on current direction and speed, one observation every day (sets are to be made at specific depth).
• Secchi disc observation (3 readings) for every set made after setting line.
