DESCRIPTION OF CRUISES 21 Heavy weather again interfered with vertical work, and, since the N ioo H nets had been shown to be the most efficient for the capture of Euphausians, it was decided to run a series of N ioo H stations out from the coast and back again with a view to obtaining a knowledge of the distribution across the whaling area: Sts. 32-38 were accordingly made.

Sts. 40, 41, 43 and 44 were also N 100 H stations. Following St. 41 the ship was anchored in a depth of 272 m., by means of the trawl warp, with the inten- tion of making repeated vertical observations over a period of 24 hours, partly in order to study any changing conditions, including the vertical migration of the plankton, and 38° 37° 36° 54 55' 35 37. 33,;; 34,/"' ,;>36 ,' 17 21 20 > / 15,' 38' .•'16 •44 14*'4i/'; ,'43-/ 25 >32 l3V--24 / 23 31. 54 55 38° 37° 36° Fig. 12.

Vertical hauls were made at 1300 o'clock and repeated at 1600, 1700, 2000 and 2100 o'clock, when operations were terminated by the sudden onset of a gale. Con- tinued rough weather prevented further plankton work until the ship sailed for the Falkland Islands on April Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Institute of Oceanographic Sciences (Great Britain); National Institute of Oceanography of Great Britain; Great Britain.
