Preliminary cruise report: Acoustic assessment of the Iceland-East Greenland-Jan Mayen capelin stock in autumn 2022 (Ad hoc)

The main objective of the survey was acoustic assessment of the capelin stock in the Iceland, East Greenland and Jan Mayen area, measuring mature and immature stock components at age 1 and older. The survey was conducted on a r/v Tarajoq on 27 August– 20 September and r/v Árni Friðriksson on 5–26 September on behalf of GINR and MFRI, respectively. The stock estimate was based on combined acoustic and trawl data from both vessels. Figure 1.1 shows the survey tracks and stations taken by the vessels.
