With the acquisition of national research vessels with acoustic equipment, scientific activities were initiated to prepare for the national vessels to take over the responsibility for the acoustic surveys carried out by the R/V Dr. Fridtjof Nansen. To achieve this, several parallel surveys and intercalibration exercises were carried out to ensure comparable results
