Counts of larval fishes collected by a 4m2 MOCNESS in a subtropical, pelagic environment Dataset Description: <p>Counts of larval fishes collected by a 4m<sup>2</sup> Multiple Opening Closing Net and Environmental Sampling System (MOCNESS; MOC4) in a subtropical, pelagic environment.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Restricted dataset:&nbsp;</strong>Data are currently restricted pending publication of the manuscript. Please contact the PI for prior access.</p> Methods and Sampling: <p>Larval fishes were collected at each station using a Multiple Opening Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System (MOCNESS, <a href="http://www.whoi.edu/instruments/viewInstrument.do?id=10008">http://www.whoi.edu/instruments/viewInstrument.do?id=10008</a>) with a 4&nbsp;square&nbsp;meter&nbsp;opening and 1 mm mesh nets (MOC4). To capture larval fishes and mesozooplankton on a fine horizontal spatial scale, we sequentially fired each MOCNESS net every ~125-500 m. Traveling at a speed of 2 meters per second&nbsp;each MOC4 net sampled ~500-2600 cubic meters. We fired a total of five nets per tow. One net was open from the surface to depth (net zero), and four nets sampled discrete depths. At every station, this fine-scale net sampling was repeated with two MOC4 tows at 15 m and 30 m depth (randomized order), thus eight replicate tows per depth. Once onboard, the nets were rinsed with seawater and the contents of each cod end immediately preserved in 95% ethanol.</p>

Spatial variability of larval fish in relation to their prey and predator fields: Patterns and interactions from cm to 10s of km in a subtropical, pelagic environment

Spatial variability of larval fish in relation to their prey and predator fields: Patterns and interactions from cm to 10s of km in a subtropical, pelagic environment
<p><em>Description from NSF award abstract:</em><br />
The spatial pattern of organisms within pelagic marine environments is of significant ecological importance, and this is particularly true for larval fishes. Patchy prey and predator environments should lead to variation in predator-prey interactions, and thus to variations in larval fish growth and survival. These have proven very difficult to resolve in nature, due in large part to the broad range of spatial scales involved and technological challenges with adequately sampling the various processes simultaneously. This study will use new technology (In Situ Ichthyoplankton Imaging System - ISIIS) to simultaneously measure the fine-scale distribution of larval fishes in relation to their prey, their planktonic predators, and the physical environment of the Straits of Florida. This will be combined with targeted fine-scale net sampling and analyses of individual recent daily larval growth. By sampling a series of water masses at very high resolution, this study will address specific hypotheses concerning: i) the drivers of aggregations and patchiness, and ii) the biological consequences of predator-prey interactions at fine scales.</p>
<p>The primary intellectual merit of the study is the unprecedented examination of plankton processes at scales of relevance to biological interactions among larval fishes, their prey, and their predators. This field study will further our understanding of the predator-prey interactions contributing to spatially explicit larval growth and mortality patterns. The focus on subtropical planktonic food webs will enhance scientific knowledge of these understudied pelagic ecosystems and provide valuable data for comparative analyses with pelagic food web dynamics at higher latitudes. A deeper understanding of pelagic planktonic ecosystems over a range of spatial and temporal scales is increasingly important as the oceans undergo major environmental changes. Substantial increases in the relative dominance of gelatinous organisms, for example, have the potential to cause major shifts in pelagic food webs. A better understanding of the fine-scale interactions of such food webs will help society anticipate and respond to the consequences of such changes.</p>

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) This designation is used when the specific type of MOCNESS (number and size of nets) was not specified by the contributing investigator.
