             Vertical tows small net
             10-40 m depth horizontal tows with large
             net to get alive euphausiids and copepods

* MOCNESS (Nine levels)
* Live experiments with the euphausiids Euphausia pacifica and Thysanoessa spinifera:

              * Molting rates experiments
              * Growth rates
              * Egg production rates
