Antarctic
Polar Zone: West indian sector
Begin date: 2 January 2006 – end date: 14 March 2006

• Title: V3 BROKE-WEST, Fremantle-Hobart
• Summary: During this krill campaign our focus lies again on the Ichtyofauna. Special attention is paid to lanternfishes and their distribution around the Antarctic. By comparing abundance an energy content of myctophids around the content we want to improve our understanding of their ecology. Other fish that we collect will be used to further improve our genetic database.
