Such research has not been conducted since the 1980s. Scientists will provide up-to-date data on the reserves of aquatic bioresources, which will help open new fishing areas.
Russian scientists have
begun research in the Mozambique region as part of the Great African Expedition.
"The research vessel Atlantida is operating in the exclusive economic zone of Mozambique. Catches from control trawls varied from 2 to 134 kg per trawl. The main catches include luminous anchovies, sharks, squid, and shrimp. In total, over the course of a week (from March 22 to 28), 971 kg of aquatic biological resources were collected," the expedition report stated.
At the same time, according to the expedition, the research vessel Atlantniru continues bottom surveys off the coast of Guinea-Bissau. The main catches consist of West African horse mackerel, African ilisha, and hake.
The official launch of the Great African Expedition took place on August 21, 2024, at the Kaliningrad Sea Fishing Port. As part of the expedition, scientific research is planned in the coastal waters of 18 states in West Africa and the western part of the Indian Ocean.
The R/V Atlantniru will conduct studies in the zones of Morocco, Mauritania, Nigeria, Cameroon, São Tomé and Príncipe, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, the Republic of Congo, and Angola. The R/V Atlantida will carry out work in the waters of Mauritania, Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, the Republic of Guinea, Sierra Leone, Mozambique, Madagascar, Mauritius, Oman, and Eritrea.
