Description

This data was collected in Lake Malawi using a trawl vessel belonging to the Department of Fisheries. The Research Vessel Ndunduma, powered by a 400hp Caterpillar engine, was used while dragging a bottom trawl net. Trawling was restricted to 30-minute intervals, while trawling speed was about 4.63km/hr. Over 116 sampling stations were targeted during the survey, which was jointly conducted by Malawian and Mozambican fisheries researchers.
