The Clupea is a former German fishery research cutter . The owner was the Federal Republic of Germany, represented by the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection (BMELV). The ship was available to the Johann Heinrich von Thünen Institute / Institute for Baltic Sea Fisheries Rostock (vTI-OSF). The ship was managed by the Federal Agency for Agriculture and Food (BLE).

history

The cutter was built in 1949 at the Bodden shipyard in Damgarten . The launch took place in June, the completion in November 1949.

The clupea is a wooden side catcher . The ship belonged to the series of 17-meter cutters, also known as the “Fischkutter Typ D”, which had been built in large numbers at various shipyards in the GDR . It was first put into service on November 7, 1949 as a commercial fishing cutter Erfurt with home port Sassnitz and the fishing license plate SAS 115. Later the cutter came to Wolgast (fishing license number WOG 83) and to Karlshagen on Usedom (fishing license number KAR 23).

The cutter was sold via VEBEG in July 2012 for 15,000 euros .

Use as a fishing research cutter

In 1982, a new scientific method for calculating the herring population off the coast of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania was introduced at what was then the Institute for Deep Sea Fishing and Fish Processing in Rostock . The fishing cutter Erfurt was initially chartered for the research work in June 1982 and then bought on January 1, 1983. It was then converted into the Clupea fisheries research cutter . It was u. a. the fish room that is no longer needed was converted into living space for the scientific staff. 1986/87 the research cutter was rebuilt again and got u. a. a larger wheelhouse.

Some of the main tasks of the research cutter until the end of 1991 were sample catches of commercially used fish species, sample catches in juvenile fish and spawning areas , sample catches in the Greifswalder Bodden to determine the mortality of herring larvae, taking into account the marine environmental conditions, and to test new fishing gear and techniques.

After reunification, the cutter came to the Federal Research Institute for Fisheries (today Johann Heinrich von Thünen Institute) in early 1992. The area of ​​application was the shallow coastal and lagoon waters of the Baltic Sea , which are not accessible to the two larger research vessels of the vTI due to the draft.

Since then, the main focus of research work has been on researching and monitoring various fish populations and investigations into survival rates, so-called discards (the entire unused part of catch that is thrown back into the sea by the fishing vessel) as well as testing new fishing gear and techniques.

Furnishing

The cutter is driven by a six - cylinder four - stroke diesel engine from VEB Schwermaschinenbau "Karl Liebknecht" (type 6 NVD 24) with an output of 110  kW . The cutter can reach a speed of up to 8  knots .

A KHD diesel engine (type D 226 B) with an output of 32 kW is available as an auxiliary diesel. A diesel generator with an apparent power of 70  kVA is installed for the power supply .

There are sleeping places for seven people on board. Six of them are in two three-bed chambers, a seventh berth in the wheelhouse.

New building

The Clupea was the longest-serving German research ship. In 2011, the successor of the same name was built at the Fassmer shipyard. The baptism took place on September 15, 2011.

Others

Clupea was named after the herring , whose Latin name is Clupea .
