Summary of Field Work: |
Two research cruises will be conducted aboard UNOLS vessels. The first in 2010 in the Pacific and the second in 2011 in the North Atlantic. The primary goal is to perform physiological measurements of midwater zooplankton and micronekton onboard ship. Collection of specimens will be carried out using a number of methods. We will deploy a large Tucker Trawl to depths of 2000 meters. This net is 30 meters long and uses 1000 lbs of lead weight. It is operated over a conducting (0.68) cable. A crane and capstan, in addition to the A-frame, are typically used in recovery and deployment. Bluewater SCUBA diving will be conducted from a small RHiB or Zodiac launched from the R/V. We will require a compressor onboard for tank refill.
Lastly, we propose to use the submersible, Johnson Sealink, for collection of delicate midwater animals in the North Atlantic. CTDO casts will be conducted Shipboard physiology experiments will be conducted in the wet and dry labs onboard ship. |

Summary of Facility Requirements: |
2010 on the R/V New Horizon: require 0.68 conducting cable for trawling, CTDO, RHIB for deploying SCUBA divers. 2011 on the R/V Seward Johnsen: require 0.68 conducting cable for trawling, CTDO, RHIB for deploying SCUBA divers, DSRV Sea Link. |

We are requesting 10 days diving with the JSL in midwater. The goal is to collect gelatinous zooplankton in good condition for physiological studies. We have extensive experience using this submersible for this type of work. |
