Counts and lengths of fish larvae, Georges Bank region, Bongo tow samples, Jan-June 1995-1999, US GLOBEC.

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

Bongo plankton tow samples from thirty cruises to the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank region were screened for fish larvae abundance.

Description

Fish larvae were identified by species and measured for lengths. Sampling was conducted over a fixed sampling grid, on a monthly basis (January-June) for years 1995-1999.

The 0.61-meter bongo was towed obliquely with a 45 degree wire angle at each station. Net mesh was 0.335 mm. Tows were made to within five meters of the bottom or to a maximum depth of 200 meters.

Note

The list of taxonomic names reported in the keywords section reflects only those species that are of commerical interest. The complete list of organisms identified is too time-consuming to compile and report here in total. The user is urged to use the edit/find command to determine if a taxa of interest is present in the data that does not appear in the keyword list.
