Dataset-specific description

A "Little Giant" brand pump was used to retrieve water from depth for animal culture. This goal is to have large amounts of water of the appropriate salinity, DIC/TA and temperature to replicate the conditions the animals experience in situ. To achieve this, six "pteropod ptransporter" garbage cans were brought onboard and held in a plastic cage.
