Vessel features:

• multipieces trawl-sonic surveys for evaluating the stock of aqueous hydrobionts;
• research of oceanologic conditions for formation of biological and fishing capacity of water area in survey areas;
• monitoring of environmental conditions for fishing hydrobionts;
• evaluation of feeding distribution state and nature and food provision for general types of commercial fishes;
• behaviour research and data acquisition for evaluating the stock of aqueous hydrobionts by using remote controlled submersible vehicle;
• making the map of bottom configuration on water area under research;
• fishing for scientific purposes by bottom and pelagic trawls and line trawl;
• conversion of new fish finding underwater sonic methods and devices;
• process research of production of frozen and cooled fish products made out of dressed and non-dressed fish, including production of fish feeding flour and inedible fat
