Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Raw counts of meiofauna identified in sediment samples from the Kermadec Trench in the Southwest Pacific, 4000 to ~10,000m from the R/V Thomas G. Thompson during cruise TN309 (HADES-K), May 2014 (NCEI Accession 0278604)

Preview graphic

This dataset contains biological data collected on R/V Thomas G. Thompson during cruise TN309 in the South Pacific Ocean from 2014-05-02 to 2014-05-07. These data include depth and taxon. The instruments used to collect these data include HROV Nereus, Microscope-Optical, and Push Corer. These data were collected by Dr Jeffrey C. Drazen of University of Hawaii at Manoa, Dr Paul Yancey of Whitman College, and Dr Timothy M. Shank of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the "Controls on Hadal Megafaunal Community Structure: a Systematic Examination of Pressure, Food Supply, and Topography (HADES)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-06-17.

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

HADES-K - meiofauna raw counts

Dataset Description:
This dataset includes raw counts of meiofauna identified in push core samples taken in the Kermadec Trench in the Southwest Pacific, 4000 to ~10,000m from the R/V Thomas G. Thompson during cruise TN309, May 2014.

Supplemental Information	Acquisition Description: Push cores (6.35 cm diameter) of sediment were collected in situ using the manipulator arm of the Hybrid Remotely Operated Vehicle Nereus on the margin of the Kermadec Trench (6013m) and along the main trench axis (7137 to 9177m) at roughly 1000m increments. Cores were sectioned at 1cm intervals and sieved for the meiofaunal fraction. Meiofauna (>300 microns) were enumerated and identified to major taxonomic groups (16 total) based on the published morphological descriptions of the taxonomic groups. The data present the total number of individuals in each of these groups in each core. Attempts were made to obtain 3 replicate cores at each depth horizon (every 1000 meters from 6000m to 10,000m. For logistical reasons with vehicle performance (and loss at 10,000), all of the replicates were not able to be collected.
