This dataset contains biological and survey - biological data collected on R/V C-HAWK during cruise Yund_GoME in the North Atlantic Ocean from 2012-08-01 to 2014-08-07. These data include abundance and depth. These data were collected by Dr Philip O. Yund of Downeast Institute for Applied Marine Research and Education as part of the "Intertidal community assembly and dynamics: Integrating broad-scale regional variation in environmental forcing and benthic-pelagic coupling (GOMEPRO)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2020-01-03.

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

Dataset Description:
Depth distribution of mussel larvae in eastern Gulf of Maine from R/V C-Hawk day cruises in the Eastern Gulf of Maine from 2012 to 2014. These data were published in Weinstock et al., 2018 (see Fig 1, 2, 3, and 5).

Related Datasets: CTD casts were conducted immediately before and after the associated larval vertical distribution sampling and on both flood and ebb tides.

Supplemental Information
Acquisition Description:
Samples were collected by pumping 100L of water from specific depths and filtering the water through a 50 μm plankton net. Samples were preserved in ethanol. Bivalve veligers were sorted from other plankton and enumerated under a microscope. A random subset of approximately 33 veligers per sample were prepared for SEM and viewed. Veligers were identified to the family level based on previously published criteria for hinge tooth morphology and all veligers classified as mytillids were measured. Mytilus sp. veligers were distinguished from the much rarer Modiolus by established relationships between shell length and the number of hinge teeth. The total number of bivalve veligers was multiplied by the fraction identified as Mytilus sp. to yield the estimated number of Mytilus sp. larvae in each sample. This method did not allow us to distinguish Mytilus edulis larvae from Mytilus trossulus larvae, but the later species is rare in the bays that we sampled.
