Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Benthic organism and other data from net casts from NOAA Ship MILLER FREEMAN as part of the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) from 1975-08-16 to 1975-10-20 (NCEI Accession 7601834)

Benthic organism and other data were collected from net casts from NOAA Ship MILLER FREEMAN from 16 August 1975 to 20 October 1975. Data were collected by the University of Alaska - Fairbanks; Institute of Marine Science (UAK/IMS) as part of the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP). Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F132 Benthic Organism format.

The F132 format contains data from field sampling or surveys of bottom dwelling marine organisms. The data provide information on species abundance, distribution, and biomass; they may have been collected by point sampling (grab or core), by tow (dredge, trawl or net), by photographic surveys, or by other methods. Cruise information such as vessel, start and end dates, investigator, and institution/agency; station numbers, positions and times; and equipment and methods are reported for each survey. Environmental data reported at each sampling site may include meteorological and sea surface conditions; surface and bottom temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen; and sediment characteristics. Number of individual organisms and total weight of organisms is reported for each species. A text record is available for comments.
