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: | BENTHIC SPECIES and Other Data from GILLISS and Other Platforms from 19751027 to 19760827 (NODC Accession 7700455) |
| Abstract: | Data was submitted by Dr. Grald L. Engel. This study was organized to collect data on Parasite Type and Location. Parasite (both ecto- and endo-), and site of infection were looked into. SST, wave, turbidity, gear type (trawl), species, parasite (both ecto- and endo-), and site of infection (i.e. data on parasite type and location) data were collected. The documentation describes instruments employed for sampling, units, and a detailed description of the record format. These studies were part of the Mid-Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf Studies (OCS). These data were collected by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS). Special codes employed by VIMS to describe parasite types and location were included as hardcopy. The original information submitted on tape has been converted into the current NODC storage format. |

| Supplementary information: | Note: Metadata for this accession were extracted from a legacy database maintained by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description. To develop more accurate metadata, the NODC reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.
