VESSEL CLASS

KM Ice3 [1] AUT1- ICS (REF) EPP ECO Special purpose ship of the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping

PURPOSE OF THE VESSEL

Performing multi-species trawl-acoustic surveys to assess the stocks of aquatic hydrobionts.
Study of oceanological conditions for the formation of biological and commercial productivity of waters in the study areas.
Monitoring of the habitat of commercial hydrobionts.
Assessment of the state and nature of the distribution of the food supply, food security of the main commercial fish.
Behavioral research and collection of materials for assessing the stocks of aquatic hydrobionts using a remote-controlled underwater vehicle.
Mapping of the bottom topography in the surveyed water area.
Fishing by bottom and pelagic trawls of fish and other biological objects for research purposes (for laboratory research) with subsequent freezing.
Mastering new fish-searching methods and instruments; technical research in the field of hydrobiont processing.
