About the research vessel S/V Asterix

The research vessel S/V Asterix belongs to the Department of Aquatic Resources. The vessel is primarily used for surveys in Sweden's large lakes (Vänern, Vättern, Mälaren, and Hjälmaren), but Asterix is also excellent for investigations in coastal areas.

The vessel is equipped for water sampling, trawling, and hydroacoustic surveys, and onboard, it has a trawl, winches, a research echo sounder, and radar.
