Research ship for integrated fishery and oceanographic research in the Antarctic.

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.
