The show is on the road!

Morning to everybody! A brief entry to let you know that we have already bagged our first two hauls. The first has already been processed, the second is in good hands, with Adriana and her team (Iván, Bernardo, and Juan) working on it. Both hauls seem to have a very similar catch: mostly capelin with a bit of plaice, a bit of skate, a bit of witch flounder, the latter possibly with a bit of cod. Not very abundant, which is good for an easy start. Nair has also done her thing and has put down twice the CTD. She's probably downloading the data from the second sample right now.

The team looked so much forward to start that this morning everybody (or nearly) was down in the working deck, waiting for the first catch of the day. In the picture you can see Bernardo in the foreground and Juan, one of our students from Alicante University, sorting the catch. The little silvery fish are the capelin.

The coordinates of hauls 1 and 2 are shown above.
