Processed Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) discrete data from the upcast collected between 05 and 26 January 1989 during Voyage 069 on the FRS Africana, in the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem (BCLME) region on the west coast of Southern Africa. ... : Here we present processed Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) discrete data from the upcast collected between 05 and 26 January 1989 during Voyage 069 on the FRS Africana, in the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem (BCLME) region on the west coast of Southern Africa. Neil Brown MK3 and MK4 CTD instruments were used to measure pressure, temperature and conductivity through the water column during research and monitoring cruises between 1983 and 2000. The West Coast Hake Biomass Survey was multi-disciplinary. The main target was to determine, by means of the swept area method, the present status of the hake resource on the South African west coast. In carrying out this study, it was possible also to collect some information on the environment and zooplankton (including squid larvae) in the vicinity of the catches and to determine some ecological interrelationships of hake and other demersal fish species, to investigate squid distribution, to study some aspects of the biology and distribution of sharks and ...
