Title: Georges Bank Fish Larvae Data collected in Bongo Nets from NOAA Ship Albatross IV, R/V Endeavor, and R/V Oceanus during U.S. GLOBEC broadscale cruises in the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank from 1995-1999 (GB project) (NCEI Accession 0106200)
Abstract: This dataset contains biological data collected on R/V Albatross IV, R/V Endeavor, and R/V Oceanus during cruises AL9505, AL9506, AL9508, AL9605, AL9607, AL9701, AL9705, AL9707, AL9801, AL9806, AL9808, AL9901, AL9904, AL9906, EN261, EN263, EN265, EN276, EN278, EN282, EN320, OC275, OC298, OC300, OC302, OC317, OC319, OC322, OC336, and OC341 in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1995-02-10 to 1999-06-14. These data include taxon. The instruments used to collect these data include Bongo Net. These data were collected by Dr Donna L. Johnson of National Marine Fisheries Service as part of the "U.S. GLOBEC Georges Bank (GB)" project and "U.S. GLOBal ocean ECosystems dynamics (U.S. GLOBEC)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-02-18.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

Georges Bank Fish Larvae Data from Bongo Nets, 1995-1999.

Dataset Description:
Georges Bank Fish Larvae Data from Bongo Nets

1 Standard Haul Factor: numerical factor (multiplier) used to standardize catches to be expressed as number caught per 10m2 of sea surface area. Most haul factors range from 1 to 10. The Standard Haul Factor has not been applied to the data reported here.

Specifics on bongo tow displacement volumes can be seen on the companion file "bongovols" under the heading of broadscale cruises.
