Infauna counts from BoWLs moorings deployed and recovered from R/V Oceanus cruises OC1304A and OC1406B off the Coast of Oregon from 2013-2014 (BOWLS project) (NCEI Accession 0294391)
This dataset contains data collected on CRS-1464, CRS-1467, CRS-1471, CRS-1472, and R/V Oceanus during cruises OC1304A and OC1406B and deployments CRS-1464, CRS-1467, CRS-1471, and CRS-1472 in the North Pacific Ocean from 2013-04-05 to 2014-06-27. These data include depth. The instruments used to collect these data include Microscope - Optical. These data were collected by Kenneth M. Halanych of Auburn University and Craig R. Smith of University of Hawaii at Manoa as part of the "Biodiversity, connectivity and ecosystem function in organic-rich whale-bone and wood-fall habitats in the deep sea (BOWLS)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2021-01-14.
The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:
BOWLS mooring infauna counts
Dataset Description:
Acquisition Description:
Immediately upon recovery of the benthic landers (moorings), wood substrates were transferred to buckets containing chilled, filtered seawater. Following the collection of ecosystem function measurements, each wood block was sub-sectioned into quarters, and fixed whole in 95% ethanol, 4% formaldehyde and frozen.
Wood quarters fixed in 4% formaldehyde were quantitatively sorted in the lab using a stereomicroscope. The “substrate” is the experimental treatment type: Wood. Phylum counts are the number of individuals (or heads for incomplete specimens) per three replicate (quarter, 9x9x9 cm each) substrates at each mooring.
of the mooring deployment sites.
