Comments

Headed along the ice edge looking for krill on the sounders. After several trawls with the RMT net we have over 1,000 live krill on board, primarily juveniles. Tremendous effort by the marine science support team and the ships crew. Deployed CPR at ice edge. Now heading for Hobart. Regards Vicky, Karin and Barbara
