Data Management Plan
DMP Template v2.0.1 (2015-01-01)
Please provide the following information, and submit to the NOAA DM Plan Repository.Reference to Master DM Plan (if applicable)
As stated in Section IV, Requirement 1.3, DM Plans may be hierarchical. If this DM Plan inherits provisions from a higher-level DM Plan already submitted to the Repository, then this more-specific Plan only needs to provide information that differs from what was provided in the Master DM Plan.
1. General Description of Data to be Managed
Environmentally-friendly methods for controlling microbial pathogenesis in aquaculture with probiotic bacteria are becoming increasingly preferred over use of chemical means, such as disinfectants or antibiotics. Recent research at the Milford Laboratory has shown that naturally-occurring bacteria isolated from the digestive glands of adult oysters, Crassostrea virginica, may be used as potential probiotic candidates in oyster larviculture. Probiotic candidate selection was based upon the Kirby Bauer Disc Diffusion Method, in which zones of inhibition suggested competitive exclusion of a known shellfish larvae pathogen (B183). In challenge studies, survival of 2-day old oyster larvae supplemented with probiotic candidate OY15 (Vibrio sp.) was similar (p<0.3883) to that of control larvae (no added bacteria), indicating no harmful effects. Further, addition of OY15 to oyster larvae challenged with B183 significantly improved survival (p<0.0141) compared to the pathogen alone. An in vitro study to determine the effects of OY15 or the pathogen B183 upon oyster hemocytes and their immune functions demonstrated immuno-stimulation of oyster hemocytes by OY15 and immune-suppression by B183, suggesting an immuno-modulation mechanism for OY15.
Notes: Only a maximum of 4000 characters will be included.

2. Point of Contact for this Data Management Plan (author or maintainer)
Notes: The name of the Person of the most recent Support Role of type "Metadata Contact" is used. The support role must be in effect.
Notes: The name of the Organization of the most recent Support Role of type "Metadata Contact" is used. This field is required if applicable.
3. Responsible Party for Data Management
Program Managers, or their designee, shall be responsible for assuring the proper management of the data produced by their Program. Please indicate the responsible party below.
Notes: The name of the Person of the most recent Support Role of type "Data Steward" is used. The support role must be in effect.
4. Resources
Programs must identify resources within their own budget for managing the data they produce.
5. Data Lineage and Quality
NOAA has issued Information Quality Guidelines for ensuring and maximizing the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of information which it disseminates.
(describe or provide URL of description):
Lineage Statement:
Fisher's Island oysters spawned at the Milford Laboratory, and larval bioassays run with 4 treatments: no bacteria control, probiotic OY15, pathogen B183 (Vibrio Corallilyticus) and combination treatment with OY15+B183. Bacteria were dosed every other day and larvae subsamples were taken for survival counts.

Data validation during data entry
6. Data Documentation
The EDMC Data Documentation Procedural Directive requires that NOAA data be well documented, specifies the use of ISO 19115 and related standards for documentation of new data, and provides links to resources and tools for metadata creation and validation.
Missing/invalid information:
- 1.7. Data collection method(s)

7. Data Access
NAO 212-15 states that access to environmental data may only be restricted when distribution is explicitly limited by law, regulation, policy (such as those applicable to personally identifiable information or protected critical infrastructure information or proprietary trade information) or by security requirements. The EDMC Data Access Procedural Directive contains specific guidance, recommends the use of open-standard, interoperable, non-proprietary web services, provides information about resources and tools to enable data access, and includes a Waiver to be submitted to justify any approach other than full, unrestricted public access.
The Milford laboratory is currently involved in a CRADA (Cooperative Research and Development Agreement) with Envera LLC, to mass-culture Milford probiotic strain OY15 and make freeze-dried or spray-dried formulations. This may cause a constraint on access to the data as intellectual property, until the CRADA has been completed (June 2016) and agreed upon with collaborators.
NEFSC Data Access Constraint:
If data is stored on an internal NEFSC network, the requester may not have direct access to query the data unless they are also authorized for network access.
Notes: The name of the Organization of the most recent Support Role of type "Distributor" is used. The support role must be in effect. This information is not required if an approved access waiver exists for this data.
Notes: This field is required if a Distributor has not been specified.
Notes: All URLs listed in the Distribution Info section will be included. This field is required if applicable.
See Data Access Constraints
NEFSC Data Access Procedure:
1. Formal request in writing usually to the data owner/contact or Center Director;
2. Requester is contacted by data owner to review and verify the request content and details for data delivery options.
3. If data is confidential then owner will determine if the data may be released to the requester;
4. If data can be released, the data is downloaded and packaged for delivery electronically; or the requester may be directed to where the data is available online.
Notes: This field is required if applicable.
8. Data Preservation and Protection
The NOAA Procedure for Scientific Records Appraisal and Archive Approval describes how to identify, appraise and decide what scientific records are to be preserved in a NOAA archive.
(Specify NCEI-MD, NCEI-CO, NCEI-NC, NCEI-MS, World Data Center (WDC) facility, Other, To Be Determined, Unable to Archive, or No Archiving Intended)
Notes: This field is required if archive location is World Data Center or Other.
Notes: This field is required if archive location is To Be Determined, Unable to Archive, or No Archiving Intended.
Notes: Physical Location Organization, City and State are required, or a Location Description is required.
