During Aug 21-Set 4, 2013, SKED scientists, Dr. Okazaki, Dr. Hidaka, Dr. Fukuda, and Dr. Miyamoto participated a research cruise on R/V Soyo-maru (FRA). In this cruise, MOHT net was towed with 4 knots, which was too fast using ordinal nets, but MOHT enables us doing so at a relatively high speed. With the MOHT, we could sample fish larvae, micro-nekton, and fish with swimming ability at different depths. During this survey, we collected samples at 4 different depths.
