ANT XXIII-6, Capetown-Capetown

Antarctic
Polar Zone: Lazarev Sea
Begin date: 17 June 2006 – end date: 17 August 2006

• Title: ANT XXIII-6, Capetown-Capetown
• Summary: During this campaign we will return to the Lazarev Sea which was sampled in the fall of 2004. By collecting samples from different seasons in the same area we try to understand how the ichtyofauna (fish fauna) chances over the seasons. Our particular focus will be E. Antarctica and the comparison of their distribution, energy signature and population structure.
