Fisheries acoustic data, whale and bird data from two transits from the Falkland Islands to Tristan da Cunha during March 2018 (RRS James Clark Ross) and March 2019 (RRS Discovery)

The acoustic data is separated into different categories of plankton: fish, fish without swimbladders, gas bearing plankton, plankton, and total backscatter for the RRS James Clark Ross and RRS Discovery cruises. The data is for every nautical mile along the transit and separated into 19 depth bands (in one set of files) or aggregated together (in another set of files).

The whale and bird number of each species are reported for each day.



These research cruises were co-funded through partnerships between the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, through the Blue Belt program run by Cefas & MMO, and UKRI through the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) National Capability - Official Development Assistance program (NE/R000107/1 and NE/T012439/1).
