Kent estuary survey 18th August 1981

This is the Kent estuary survey 18th July 1981 produced by the North West Water Authority in 1981. The report focuses on a tidal cycle survey carried out on the Kent estuary on the 18th August, 1981. The chemical water quality at Arnside Pier and at New Barns was, on the whole, acceptable. However, samples taken downstream of the outfall at low water for total coliforms and E. coli were all above the EEC mandatory level whilst those for faecal streptococci were all above the guideline value. This document shows chemical and bacteriological data analysed at Kent estuary such chloride, dissolved oxygen, BOD, ammonia, nitrate, phosphate, total coliforms, E. coli and Faecal streptococci.

This report of the cruise along the Sofala Bank (Mozambique) describes the catch composition and catch distributions of the shallow water shrimp. Biological data are given for Penaeus indicus and Metapenaeus monoceros which represent 77% of the total catch.

This report of the research cruise (7 to 23 June 1981) surveying pelagic marine resources of the Sofala Bank (Mozambique) describes the size composition, distribution, length-weight relationships and sex-ratio of the fish captured. Decapterus russellii, D. macrosoma, Selar crumenophthalmus and Rastrelliger kanagurta represented 21.7% of the total catch. The by-catch was also studied.

Camarāo de profundidade: relatório dos cruzeiros realizados com o n/i "Ernst Haeckel" em Agosto-Setembro 1980, Novembro-Dezembro 1980, Janeiro-Fevereiro 1981, Janeiro-Fevereiro 1982

Reports of cruises carried out off Mozambique between parallels 21 degree 00 and 26 degree 20'S and at depths of 400 and 800 meters including abundance indices, catch composition, geographic and bathymetric distributions of shrimp catches are presented. The main species found were Hymenopenaeus triarthrus and Aristeomorpha foliacea which represent 64 to 72% of total catches.

The geographic and bathymetric distribution of the shrimps Penaeus indicus, Metapenaeus monoceros, P. japonicus and P. monodon along the coast of Mozambique are given. Biological data of the main species P. indicus and M. monoceros are presented.

This cruise report describes the Sofala Bank (Mozambique) crustacean stocks and the fish by-catch. A survey was made of the stock assessment of demersal fish with commercial interest, fishing grounds, biology and distribution of the most abundant demersal fishes and the specific composition of trawl catch areas.

Relatório do cruzeiro realizado no Banco de Sofala pelo navio Pantikapey em Julho-Agosto de [1981]: peixes demersais

Thanks to an agreement between the Institute of Fisheries Research of Mozambique and the Soviet part Azcherniro and Ingribpomrazvedka, surveys in the waters of Mozambique were conducted from June to August 1981 on the ship Pantikapei. The survey made along the Sofala Bank and Boa Paz (16°00-21°00'S) was at a depths of 11 and 90 meters. Demersal and pelagic fisheries experiments were conducted using acoustic devices. This paper described the results obtained on demersal fishery resources.
