Benthic organisms collected using net casts and other instruments from the R/V VENTURE in the Gulf of Mexico from 1980-10-27 and 1984-04-29 (NCEI Accession 8600027)
Benthic organisms were collected using net, sediment sampler casts, and other instruments from the R/V VENTURE in the Gulf of Mexico from 27 October 1980 to 29 April 1984. Data were submitted by the Woodward - Cycle Consultant with support from the S.W. Florida Shelf project. Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard F132- Benthic Organisms formats.
The F132 format contains data from field sampling or surveys of bottom dwelling marine organisms. The data provide information on species abundance, distribution, and biomass; they may have been collected by point sampling (grab or core), by tow (dredge, trawl or net), by photographic surveys, or by other methods. Cruise information such as vessel, start and end dates, investigator, and institution/agency; station numbers, positions and times; and equipment and methods are reported for each survey. Environmental data reported at each sampling site may include meteorological and sea surface conditions; surface and bottom temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen; and sediment characteristics. Number of individual organisms and total weight of organisms is reported for each species. A text record is available for comments.
