The demersal nekton components of MAR-ECO study the distribution and life history of benthic and benthopelagic fishes, and has close ties to the epibenthos studies (ref. component project EPIBENTHOS) Four component projects on demersal nekton are presented.
The cruise schedule and budget given for each project are tentative.
