This dataset contains biological and survey - biological data collected on Alvin, R/V Atlantis, and R/V Falkor during cruises AT37-13, AT42-03, and FK190106 and deployments AT37-13_Alvin_Dives and AT42-03_Alvin_Dives in the North Pacific Ocean from 2017-05-22 to 2019-01-10. These data include depth, family, genus, order, phylum, and species. The instruments used to collect these data include Bottom Sediment Grab Samplers, Bushmaster, Mussel Pot, and Sediment suction sampler. These data were collected by Victoria J Orphan of California Institute of Technology, Erik E. Cordes of Temple University, and Christopher Roman, Gregory Rouse, and Lisa A Levin of University of California-San Diego as part of the "Collaborative research: Quantifying the biological, chemical, and physical linkages between chemosynthetic communities and the surrounding deep sea (Costa Rica Seeps)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2020-07-30.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

Dataset Description:
Sampling information from mussels and associated organisms collected from different seep sites off the Costa Rica margin. The collections were made aboard R/V Atlantis during 2017 and 2018 using DSV Alvin. In 2019 the collections were made aboard R/V Falkor, using the ROV Subastian. Sampling information contains length, height, width, Phylum, Class, Order, Family and Genus.

Supplemental Information	Acquisition Description: Mussel samples were collected using deep sea vehicle Alvin and ROV Subastian, on R/V Atlantis and R/V Falkor. Methods used for collection involved either grabs, mussel pots, the bushmaster junior, suction apparatus or net scoops: Mussel Pot – The mussel pot is a 12-quart aluminium-clad stainless steel pot with a twistable handle connected to a Kevlar bag insert. It is used to sample mussel beds and associated communities. The pot is deployed over the select mussel patch using the submersible or ROV manipulator, then collects the enclosed assemblage by cinching the Kevlar bag closed by turning the handle. This method allows for quantitative analysis of deep-sea mussel bed communities. Bushmaster – Original instruments created at Penn State to collect hydrothermal vent and methane seep communities. Hydraulic rods are attached to a very fine mesh that is deployed over the tubeworm patch of interest to collect the tubeworms and associated community. Once the assemblage is enclosed, the net is cinched closed using the submersible or ROV manipulator. Like the mussel pot, this allows for quantitative collections of tubeworm communities. Slurp – This is simply the term used for suction sampler that attached to the submersible or ROV and collected organisms by suctioning them into an enclosed container.
