9286 Plankton Database (PLANKTON) Data Set Published / External 9285 Ecosystem Monitoring Project Completed Shelf-wide Research Vessel Surveys are conducted 4-8 times per year over the continental shelf from Cape Hatteras, North Carolina to Cape Sable, Nova Scotia, using NOAA research ships or charter vessels. The Cape Hatteras to Cape Sable area is divided into four regions, and 30 randomly selected stations are targeted for sampling from each region. The investigation utilizes shelf-wide research vessel surveys to gather data on planktonic organisms including zooplankton and ichtyoplankton. Environmental parameters are also collected but stored in different databases (e.g., OCDBS). The investigation monitors the fishery-relevant components of the Northeast Shelf ecosystem, to characterize the baseline conditions and to determine the effects of biological and physical processes on the recruitment of Northeast shelf fishes. Data from this program have supported numerous analyses documenting the seasonal and interannual variability in the distribution and abundance of the dominant zooplankton and ichthyoplankton on the northeast continental shelf.  Zooplankton and ichthyoplankton are collected throughout the water column (to a maximum depth of 200 meters) using paired 61-cm Bongo samplers equipped with 333 micron mesh nets. Samples are preserved in formalin for subsequent laboratory analysis. Over 300 plankton taxa are sorted, identified and enumerated by staff at the Sea Fisheries Institute in Poland through a joint studies program. Efforts are underway to add plankton data from other gears (e.g., Tucker Trawl, MOCNESS).

Data for each operation is then reviewed manually and checked against paper operation logs. For plankton samples, 10% of each sample is re-sorted by a senior staff member. If >4% of total larvae or eggs are found, the entire sample is re-sorted. For identification QC/QA, focus is given to taxa which are known to be more difficult (e.g., scombrids).
