	A survey of Mesopelagic fish resources in the Gulf of Oman and the Gulf of Aden January - February 1981 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		During the surveys of the pelagic fish resources of the North-western Arabian Sea carried out with R/V “Dr. Fridtjof Nansen” during 1975–1976, it was observed that mesopelagic fishes were abundant.
		Usually the densest consentrations were found in the Gulf of Oman, in the Gulf of Aden and off Pakistan, and some trawl stations in these areas gave very high catch rates (Gjøsæter 1978).
		It was believed, however, that the lower biomass and catch rates observed could be the result of seasonal fluctuations and it was therefore decided to conduct a new survey during January-February 1981.
