Northern Shrimp (Pandalus borealis) on Flemish Cap Surveys 2009
A stratified random bottom trawl survey on Flemish Cap was carried out from June 21st to July 20th 2009. The area surveyed was extended up to depths of 800 fathoms (1400 meters) following the same procedures as in previous years and increasing the number of hauls planned (181). A total of 178 valid...
