abundances of mesopelagic micronekton from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill area, 2010-2011 Dataset Description: <p>This dataset is part of an investigation of the impact of the BP oil spill on the northern Gulf of Mexico ecosystem, focusing on the mesopelagic fauna. These observations and measurements were obtained during two R/V Weatherbird cruises in the specific regions one year apart. They will be compared to many other cruises preceding to assess mesopelagic communities at both reference and within-plume stations with respect to:<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - abundance and distribution<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - species composition</p> Methods and Sampling: <p>WB1105:&nbsp;</p>
<p>Sampling at each of the general sampling sites will consist of two types of midwater tows interspersed with CTD casts.&nbsp; Tows will be at the most comfortable heading and will remain within 20 NM of each general station location.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Day tows will used the MOC-4 exclusively and will be in the upper 1000m of the water column.&nbsp; The winch will be in constant use during all tows, either paying out or taking up. Night tows will initially use the MOC-4, then the net will be switched to the 9 m2&nbsp; Tucker tow for repetitive tows in the upper 400 m for the purpose of maximizing catch of target species.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>WB1205:</p>
<p>Sampling will consist of one type of midwater tow (Tucker trawls) interspersed with CTD casts.&nbsp; Tows will be at the most comfortable heading and will remain within 20 NM of DSH-09.&nbsp; CTD casts will take place morning and evening.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Day and night tows&nbsp; will use the 9 m2&nbsp; Tucker trawl exclusively and will be in the upper 1000m of the water column.&nbsp; The winch will be in constant use during all tows, either paying out or taking up. Night tows will include, but not be limited to repetitive tows in the upper 500 m for the purpose of maximizing catch of target species.</p>

RAPID Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill: Impact of sub-surface oil plumes on mesopelagic micronekton
https://osprey.bco-dmo.org/project/2233
RAPID Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill: Impact of sub-surface oil plumes on mesopelagic micronekton
<p>The mesopelagic micronekton/macrozooplankton assemblage of the GOM is both highly diverse and vertically mobile. The great majority of the fish and crustacean species reside at depths below 600 m during the day, performing a migration into the upper 250 m at night. Thus, chances of mid-water species encountering subsurface oil plumes are extraordinarily high. Briefly put, if the plumes are present, a large fraction of the mid-water community will be migrating through them.</p>
<p>This research project will: (1) obtain data on present-day micronekton species composition, distribution, and abundance in the upper 1000 m of the water column using ships of opportunity, and compare those data with those acquired in previous decades; (2) evaluate the degree to which the community has already been exposed to subsurface oil plumes using GCMS analysis of hydrocarbon fractions in organismal tissues, and comparing those results with previously collected specimens maintained at -80o; (3) evaluate the variability in sources of carbon and nitrogen supporting mesopelagic biomass and determine the trophic position of present day and previously collected specimens using d13C and d15N of muscle tissue. The data collected in this project will provide a stable isotope baseline allowing for evaluation of present and future subsurface oil impact. </p>
<p>Broader impacts. Broader impacts include training a postdoctoral fellow in shipboard sampling, the biology of mesopelagic fauna, and basic geochemical methodologies and data interpretation. The PIs have established regular interactions with TV and newspaper reporters have been on the forefront of the shipboard sampling and geochemical analyses that first described the subsurface plumes emanating from the oil spill. Interaction with print and visual media will continue throughout the study as the oil spill coverage continues.</p>

MOCNESS
MOCNESS
PI Supplied Instrument Name: MOCNESS PI Supplied Instrument Description:Day tows will use the MOC-4 exclusively and will be in the upper 1000m of the water column. Instrument Name: MOCNESS Instrument Short Name:MOCNESS Instrument Description: The Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System or MOCNESS is a family of net systems based on the Tucker Trawl principle. There are currently 8 different sizes of MOCNESS in existence which are designed for capture of different size ranges of zooplankton and micro-nekton Each system is designated according to the size of the net mouth opening and in two cases, the number of nets it carries. The original MOCNESS (Wiebe et al, 1976) was a redesigned and improved version of a system described by Frost and McCrone (1974). (from MOCNESS manual) Community Standard Description: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/NETT0097/
Tucker Trawl
Tucker Trawl
PI Supplied Instrument Name: Tucker Trawl PI Supplied Instrument Description:A 9m2 Tucker trawl (for deep tows where up to three replicate nets can be sequentially operated) for either day and/or night tows will be used within the upper 1000m of the water column. Instrument Name: Tucker Trawl Instrument Short Name:Tucker Trawl Instrument Description: The original Tucker Trawl, a net with a rectangular mouth opening first built in 1951 by G.H. Tucker, was not an opening/closing system, but shortly thereafter it was modified so that it could be opened and closed. The original had a 183 cm by 183 cm flexible rectangular mouth opening 914 cm long net with 1.8 cm stretched mesh for the first 457 cm and 1.3 cm mesh for last 457 cm. 152 cm of coarse plankton or muslin netting lined the end of the net. Tucker designed the net to collect animals associated with the deep scattering layers, principally euphausiids, siphonophores, and midwater fish. (from Wiebe and Benfield, 2003). Currently used Tucker Trawls usually have 1-m2 openings and can have a single net or multiple nets on the frame.
