	The multi net has five different chambers that can be opened one at a time. This allows fishing on different water depths and provides information about on what depth the content in each chamber was caught. Photo: Line Reeh.
	The CTD is used on each research station for mesuaring water temperature and salinity. Photo: Line Reeh.
	Dana has five laboratories where the catch is examined. Photo: Line Reeh.

	The first eel larva caught by the expedition was an American eel larva. The American and the European eel both spawn in the Sargasso Sea. The expedition will try to find out whether the two species mate with each other
