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

| Title: | Epifauna 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 0294410) |
| Abstract: | 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 epifauna counts Dataset Description: Acquisition Description: Immediately upon recovery of the benthic landers (moorings), experimental substrates and associated mesh bags were transferred to buckets containing chilled, filtered seawater. Following the collection of ecosystem function measurements, epifaunal individuals were: 1) washed from the mesh bag over a 500 μm sieve, split and fixed in each 95% ethanol and 4% formaldehyde 2) picked from the surface of each substrate using forceps and fixed in each 95% ethanol and 4% formaldehyde 3) washed from the bucket over a 500 um sieve, split and fixed in each 95% ethanol and 4% formaldehyde following removal of the substrate. Epifaunal samples, preserved in both 95% ethanol and 4% formaldehyde were quantitatively sorted in the lab using a stereomicroscope. The “substrate” is the experimental treatment type; Control, Whale-bone or Wood. Phylum counts are the number of individuals (or heads for incomplete specimens) per three replicate substrates at each mooring. of the mooring deployment sites. |
