Today we were passing the
Devil's Hole area on the 6th transect going east. After a few medium-sized aggregations of herring, the echogram was soon dominated by a few large schools:
The net was shot soon after at 56º25'N 0º13'W to take biological samples of these herring. The result was a reasonably big catch:

| Rob guiding the catch safely on board |
 |
| A gannet observing the net from the sea surface |
 |
| Diving gannet going for some herring |
|
 |
| the catch contained several tons of clean herring |
 |
| thereafter it was again up to Bram and HendrikJan to take the measurements |
|
 |
| this shows some sprat that was caught in another haul earlier that day close to the coast |
