Barbieri’s ship, which set sail on the first crustacean research cruise, between Antofagasta and Santa María Island in the south of Chile, a total of 20 participating people among crew, researchers from our direct evaluation department as well as from the oceanography and environment department and scientific observers.
For us, this cruise is tremendously important because we are beginning a new stage, in which we have two scientific vessels carrying out parallel research work, which previously had to be done alternately either with the Abate Molina or with leased vessels. I have to highlight that this first cruise has the participation of Ailyn Miranda as our pilot.”
