Abstract
The MultiSampler is a system to be mounted in sampling trawls to give better estimates
and knowledge about fish stocks.The system is remotely controlled via a hydroacoustic link
from the vcssel. It consists of a rigid steel fi-ame with three separate &ds replacing the
standard codend in a sampling trawl. The MultiSampler takes three separate and unique
samples from dierent depths in one trawl haul. The system is developed by the Institute of
Marine Research and Scanmar. We are now at the end of the development period, and the
system has already been used in regular abundance estimation cruises for spring spawning
hemng.
