Abundance and proportion of ichthyoplankton of the Northeast U.S. Shelf from surveys conducted during the MARMAP (1977-1987) and EcoMon (1999-2008) programs (NCEI Accession 0278438)
This dataset contains biological and survey - biological data collected on NOAA Ship Trawl-Survey-Vessel during cruise NEFSC-Bottom_Trawl in the New York Bight and North Atlantic Ocean from 1977-01-01 to 2008-12-31. These data include abundance and taxon. The instruments used to collect these data include MARMAP Bongo Net. These data were collected by Jonathan Hare of Northeast Fisheries Science Center - Narragansett as part of the "Northeast Fisheries Science Center Ichthyoplankton Collection (NEFSC Ichthyoplankton)" project and "National Marine Fisheries Service / Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NMFS/NEFSC)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2020-01-14.

Ichthyoplankton of the Northeast U.S. Shelf Ecosystem: 1977-1987 and 1999-2008.
Dataset Description:
Abundance and proportion of ichthyoplankton of the Northeast U.S. Shelf. Ichthyoplankton data from several surveys conducted during the Marine Resources Monitoring, Assessment, and Prediction (MARMAP; 1977-1987) and Ecosystem Monitoring (EcoMon; 1999-2008) programs.
The Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) has conducted several ichthyoplankton collection programs on the NEUS Shelf over the past forty years including the Marine Resources Monitoring, Assessment, and Prediction program (MARMAP, 1977 - 1987) and Ecosystem Monitoring (EcoMon, 1999 - present) program (Richardson et al. 2010). Both MARMAP and EcoMon were designed as multi-species plankton surveys, and sampling effort covered the entire NEUS Shelf from Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, to Cape Sable, Nova Scotia (Figure 1, Sibunka and Silverman 1984, 1989; Richardson et al. 2010).

Supplemental Information | Acquisition Description: MARMAP used mainly a fixed station design covering the sample area of each survey approximately evenly (Sibunka and Silverman 1984, 1989). EcoMon sampled the same spatial extent of the shelf as MARMAP, but used a random-stratified design based on the NEFSC bottom trawl survey design (Azarovitz 1981). The number of plankton strata (n = 47) is lower than the bottom trawl survey (n = 108) as the narrow inshore stratum and the offshore shelf-break stratum of the bottom trawl survey (Azarovitz 1981) are combined in the EcoMon plankton sampling design. The area encompassed by each stratum determined the number of samples in that stratum. The number of stations sampled during an EcoMon survey is approximately 30 % less than that of MARMAP. Samples were collected four to eight times per year (primarily: January-February, March-April, May-June, July-August, September-October, and November-December) for each program (Richardson et al. 2010). The basic station protocols were very similar for MARMAP and EcoMon (Jossi and Marak 1983, Ejsymont and Sherman 2000). Samples were collected both day and night using a 61-cm bongo. Net tow speed was approximately 1.5 knots. Double oblique tows were a minimum of 5-mintues in duration, and fished from the surface to within 5-m of the seabed or to a maximum depth of 200-m. The volume filtered of all collections was measured with mechanical flowmeters mounted across the mouth of each net. Mesh size of the net differed between the programs, and was 505-μm during MARMAP and 333-μm during EcoMon. Samples were preserved in 5% formalin. Processing of most samples was conducted at the Morski Instytut Rybacki in Szczecin, Poland; the remaining samples were processed at the NEFSC or the Atlantic Reference Center, St Andrews, Canada. Larvae were identified to the lowest possible taxon and enumerated for each sample. Plankton tows differ with respect to volume of water filtered and maximum tow depth. In order to make data values comparable, these values were normalized through the use of a standard haul factor: h = z * 10 / v, where z = maximum tow depth (in meters) and v = volume of water filtered (in meters cubed). Taxon abundance for each station was standardized to number under 10 • m -2 sea surface (Morse 1989). References: Azarovitz TR. 1981.
