Attention:
Please note that operations of the Fishing Echo Sounder Simrad EK 60 / EK 80 requires experienced scientific staff on board and can be only operated on request. The system is not operated by the ship's crew. Request operations with the Fishing Echo Sounder Simrad EK 60 / EK 80 to AWI-Logistics in sufficient time prior to the cruise and clarify the data transfer after the cruise.
