Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

In situ observations of pteropod (Limacina helicina) presence and abundance collected in Bongo nets from in the Pacific Ocean for the NOAA West Coast Ocean Acidification cruises from 2011 to 2016 (NCEI Accession 0251154)

browse graphicPreview graphic
This dataset includes biological data collected on the NOAA West Coast cruises in years 2011, 2013 and 2016. The data include pteropod (Limacina helicina) abundance data (in ind per m-3) or their presence (in year 2013). Pteropods were generally collected during nighttime sampling at 48 stations, using 333 μm mesh Bongo nets with 30- to 45-minute oblique tows from 100 m depth to the surface.
