Summary of Field Work: |
We would like to make a mix of benthic and midwater trawls aboard the R/V Robert G. Sproul during a three day (72 hour) cruise in the early Fall or late Summer. Ideally, we would like to be able to get far enough out to sample at depths from 100 meters to 2,300 meters, but our ability to collect at the deepest depths will depend on projected speed, the number of other trawls, etc., so that will have to be refined as we get further along in our discussion. Our target species are both fishes and invertebrates, and we are just trying to sample a diversity of habitats to maximize collections for the Department of Zoology at The Field Museum. We are really flexible as to specific locations; it is more depth variation that we are interested in. We can collect pretty much anywhere at these depths at the discretion of the captain and other planners. We will gladly offer advice or opinions when necessary. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
We would like to sample for 24 hours per day, so we will need an additional ship tech. We would like to use the R/V Robert G. Sproul. We would like to use otter trawls and a few different midwater trawls. We are in discussion with folks at the Marine Vertebrates Collection to refine needs and what's available. We will also need a number of chemical supplies (formalin, alcohol, liquid nitrogen) and equipment, but those two are being refined with the folks at the Marine Vertebrates Collection. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
We would like to collect in the Summer to early Fall. We are flexible on our dates, but we must avoid 30 August 2010 to 12 September 2010. A number of people are going, so as we refine dates, more issues may come up. |
