The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

These data include species. The instruments used to collect these data include Indian Ocean Standard Net. These data were collected by Vijayalakshmi R. Nair of National Institute of Oceanography, Kochi, India as part of the "International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE)" project and "Census of Marine Life (CoML)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-11-01. The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO: Counts of Mysidacea species collected during the International Indian Ocean Expeditions, 1962-1965. Dataset Description: Mysidacea were collected by several ships that took part in the International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE) from 1962 to 1965. Though collections were taken from all over the Indian Ocean, the bulk of the material comes from the seas around the Indian Peninsula. Although technically retired, Vijaya Nair remains the contact for anyone seeking information about these data. Contact information: Vijayalakshmi R.

| Supplementary information: | Acquisition Description: 'During the IIOE, zooplankton collections were made between 25 degrees N and 45 degrees S latitude and 30 to 120 degrees E longitude. Sampling covered the entire Indian Ocean, with better coverage north of 10 degrees S latitude. Though 1927 samples were collected during IIOE, zooplankton data for 1548 standard hauls were considered to be comparable and these alone were utilized for all publications. A standard haul is defined as an Indian Ocean Standard net collection of zooplankton in the water column under 1 square meter.' (Nair, 2005) When the depth of the water exceeded 200 meters, the net was hauled from a depth of 200 meters to the surface. In shallower waters, the net was operated from the bottom to the surface. The material studied was collected during both day and night. (Pillai, 1973) 'The samples were then to be preserved in 10% formalin neutralized with hexamethylenetetramine...The samples would then be sent to the Sorting Centre for further processing.'
