Description:
Abstract:
A research program has been initiated by the Minerals
Management Service (Contract No. 1435-01-99-CT-30991) to
gain better knowledge of the benthic communities of the
deep Gulf of Mexico entitled “The Deepwater Program:
Northern Gulf of Mexico Continental Slope Habitat and
Benthic Ecology.” Increasing
exploration and exploitation of fossil hydrocarbon
resources in the deep-sea prompted the Minerals Management
Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior to support
an investigation of the structure and function of the
assemblages of organisms that live in association with the
sea floor in the deep-sea. The program, Deep Gulf of Mexico
Benthos or DGoMB, is studying the northern Gulf of Mexico
(GOM) continental slope from water depths of 300 meters on
the upper continental slope out to greater than 3,000
meters water depth seaward of the base of the Sigsbee and
Florida Escarpments. The study is focused on areas that are
the most likely targets of future resource exploration and
exploitation. However, to develop a Gulf-wide perspective
of deep-sea communities, sampling in areas beyond those
thought to be potential areas for exploration has been
included in the study design. A major enhancement in the
program is the extension of the transects onto the abyssal
plain of the central Gulf of Mexico through collaborative
studies with Mexican scientists. This additional work
effort will allow assessment of benthic communities
structure and function throughout the basin by sampling the
deepest habitats in the region.
The program is designed to gain a better ability to
predict variations in the structure and function of animal
assemblages in relation to water depth, geographic
location, time and overlying water mass. Biological studies
are integrated with measurements of physical and chemical
hydrographic parameters, sediment geochemical properties
and geological characteristics that are known to influence
benthic community distributions and dynamics. Eight (8)
hypotheses are being tested on the basis of measures of
benthic community structure. It is hypothesized that
community structure varies as a function of:
1) water depth, 2)
geographic location (east vs. west),
3) association with canyons, 4)
association with mid-slope basins, 5)
sea surface primary productivity, 6)
proximity to hydrocarbon seeps, 7)
time (seasonal and interannual scales), and 8)
association with the base of escarpments.
Purpose:
The purpose of the "Survey" in DGoMB was to characterize
the principal components of benthic communities over the
entire northern Gulf of Mexico (GoM) from the continental
shelf break out to the southern boundary of the Exclusive
Economic Zone (EEZ) at 26o N. Latitude. This
characterization was intended to assess the abundances and
biomasses of each of the important size classes of the
communities (bacteria, meiofauna, macrofauna, megafauna and
demersal fishes). Species composition is to be determined
for the macrofauna, megafauna and fishes. The diversity and
zoogeographic distribution patterns for each of these size
groups will be determined for assessments of variations
within the GoM and comparisons of the deep GoM with other
continental margins. The variations in biomass within the
groups and in space will be used to construct steady state
budgets of carbon flux within the study area.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Immediately after each field effort was completed, copies
of the field collection forms were forwarded to Data
Management. Based on the copies of the field collection
forms, the status of the samples collected during the
particular field effort were updated by logging the
appropriate information into the sample/data tracking
system. Before a data file is incorporated as valid data
into the program database, it is subjected to a data
screening analysis--a quality control procedure designed to
minimize errors. Original data sheets or laboratory reports
were compared to verification listings, reviewing the
latter for accuracy and completeness. This screening
analysis includes range checking and thematic scanning of
data to detect potential outliers and calculation of a
statistical summary, which includes minimum, maximum, and
mean values; numbers of valid observations, and total
number of observations in the data file. This information
and tabular listings of the data file are sent to the
appropriate Principal Investigator for inspection. The
Principal Investigator reviews the printouts and statistics
for errors. Any errors in the data file are corrected, and
new printouts are generated and sent to the Principal
Investigator. After the Principal Investigator certifies in
writing that the data file is valid, the data file is
incorporated into the program database.
