Megisti Star Voyage Report
To improve coverage and to give some redundancy over the peak roughy spawning season, the Megisti Star was asked to collect acoustic data and trawl catch information during its trip to the St Helens Hill, St Patricks Head region.
Echolistener acoustic data was routinely collected throughout the trip. Trawl catch sheets showing trawl location and catch composition were filled out for each trawl shot.
