This, the longest running sister survey, which started in the mid
1970's, uses the same design of CPR as SAHFOS (Jossi et
al, 1999); two routes are currently operated (see Table
below). Sampling between Boston and Nova Scotia began in 1961 when
it was conducted by the CPR staff of the Oceanographic Laboratory,
Edinburgh. The NEFSC assumed its operation in 1977. The second
route extends over the shelf and slope from New York towards
Bermuda, and has been in existence since 1976. Samples are analysed
at the NEFSC Narragansett Laboratory and at the Polish Sorting
Centre, Gdynia. SAS databases and qc'd ascii files are maintained
at Narragansett. (Jack Jossi: jjossi@mola.na.nmfs.gov).
