Ship class
Purpose
- trawl and acoustic multispecies research to evaluate aquatic organisms reserves;
-
study of oceanological conditions to provide the biological and fishing efficiency of water in the research areas;
-
monitoring of commercial aquatic organisms habitats;
-
evaluation of state and distribution pattern of food reserves, food supply for main commercial fish;
-
analysis of behaviour and data collection to evaluate aquatic organisms reserves by means of remote-controlled underwater vehicle;
-
mapping of bottom configuration in the water area under survey;
-
fish catching by means of bottom and pelagic trawls for research purposes (for laboratory tests) with following freezing;
-
adoption of new fish-detecting methods and apparatus;
-
engineering research in the field of aquatic organisms processing;
-
work with actual and prototype models of remotely-controlled and towed scientific equipment for deep sea research of aquatic organisms and their habitat;
-
scientific research by means of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).
Research spaces
Operation centre, ichthyological block, oceanological block, hydrobiological and hydrochemical laboratories, laboratory of underwater video systems, laboratory for fishing gear testing. There is a helipad in the foreship for helicopters of Ка-32 type.
