Research ship for the integrated fishery and oceanographic research in the Antarctic.

VESSEL CLASS

KM Ice3 [1] AUT1- ICS (REF) EPP ECO Special purpose ship of Russian Maritime Register of Shipping

PURPOSE 

  • trawl and acoustic multispecies research to evaluate aquatic organisms reserves;

  • study of oceanological conditions to provide the biological and fishing efficiency of water in the research areas;

  • monitoring of commercial aquatic organisms habitats;

  • evaluation of state and distribution pattern of food reserves, food supply for main commercial fish;

  • analysis of behaviour and data collection to evaluate aquatic organisms reserves by means of remote-controlled underwater vehicle;

  • mapping of bottom configuration of the water area under survey;

  • fish catching by means of bottom and pelagic trawls for research purposes (for laboratory tests) with following freezing;

  • adoption of new fish-detecting methods and apparatus;

  • engineering research in the field of aquatic organisms processing
