The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: |
Microplastic and anthropogenic concentrations in the gastrointestinal tracts of tiger sharks (Galeocerdo cuvier) caught in the western North Atlantic Ocean during 2019-04-24 to 2019-10-28 (NCEI Accession 0292729) |
| Abstract: |
This study estimated the concentration of microplastics (i.e. plastics measuring less than 5mm; reported in unit of counts of microplastics/individual) and anthropogenic particles (reported in unit of counts of particles/individual) in the gastrointestinal tracts of gastrointestinal tracts of tiger sharks (Galeocerdo cuvier) caught in the western North Atlantic Ocean during 2019-04-24 to 2019-10-28. The sharks were caught with longline with hooks. Eight shark samples were opportunistically obtained from Gulf of Mexico, Long Island (New York), Port Royal (South Carolina), and Atlantic Coast (South Carolina). Precaudal length, fork length, stretch total, and wet weight were measured for each shark prior to dissection. This dataset contains the results of individual sharks, in a spreadsheet format. |
