Fishery Research Vessel “Clupea”

The "Clupea" mainly works in the areas of coastal fishing in the southwestern Baltic Sea, but can also be deployed in the North Sea. Pelagic and bottom trawl nets, set nets and long lines, biological sample trawl and plankton nets are used, as well as oceanographic sensors.

The "Clupea" is the newest of the three fisheries research vessels (launched on September 15, 2011). The ship is nearly 29 meter long, but only has a draft of 2.30 meters. This is ideal for operating in flat coastal areas.
