25069 Deep Water Survey Data Data Set Published / External 24567 Deepwater Systematic Surveys Project Completed The deep water biodiversity surveys explore and describe the biodiversity of the bathy- and bentho-pelagic nekton using Midwater and bottom trawls. The covered area includes the western North Atlantic between the vicinity of Bear Seamount and Physalia Seamount, and areas surrounding the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR-ECO), focusing on the Charlie Gibbs Fracture Zone. The deep water biodiversity survey purpose is to collect voucher specimens of fish, cephalopods, and crustaceans; collect tissue samples for future analysis of taxonomy, systematics, and food-web relationships; photograph freshly collected specimens and systematic characters; and provide research opportunities and training in taxonomy, systematic and field oceanographic techniques for students and professional researchers. Available deep water systematics data are field identification records only. All post-survey changes to species identification or taxonomic nomenclature will not be reflected in this data set.

Prior to FSCS data collection, paper logs were pre-audited prior to keypunching. Data were then subject to post-audits. Yes Unknown Yes No 60 days To Be Determined To be determined Archival of source data preserving unaltered collected data, Scheduled backups, remote storage backups, password protection. Vessel sensor data are collected electronically using SCS. Station, catch and biological data were collected on paper logs until 2003 when it was collected digitally using the Fisheries Scientific Computing System (FSCS) V 1.0 data acquisition software. The survey conducted in 2014 utilized an updated version of the FSCS data acquisition system. Data were audited after completion of a survey and prior to being released. 31281 Entity 31286 Entity 31287 Entity 31291 Entity 33633 Entity 33634 Entity 33636 Entity 33637 Entity 33638 Entity 31298 Entity 31299 Entity gov.noaa.nmfs.inport:25069 Nancy McHugh 2015-05-20T15:04:11 SysAdmin InPortAdmin 2026-03-04T19:17:17 2019-05-31 Northeast Fisheries Science Center NEFSC 166 Water Street Woods Hole MA 02543-1026 USA (508)495-2000 https://www.nefsc.noaa.gov 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday - Friday 1001 Public No No 2019-05-31 1 Year 2020-05-31
