Mercator training ship expedition data - Pisces (fish)

As a citizen science volunteer, you can contribute to the rescue of invaluable information about marine biodiversity deriving from expeditions of the previous centuries. Let us take a deep breath and dive into the ocean's history together!

This set of “images” brings you the scientific observations of one of the many expeditions made by the Mercator training ship. The Mercator was in service as a training ship for the Belgian merchant fleet till August 1960 and made 41 voyages altogether, during which almost all seas have been sailed on and a great deal of ports called at. The Mercator accomplished many scientific missions and many times represented Belgium abroad.
