Summary of Field Work: |
Shiptime will be used to perform zooplankton surveys in the Salish Sea region, and to collect sea stars in deeper waters of the region. The purpose of this study will be to survey sea stars occurring below where scientific divers may survey at the bottom of the Salish Sea and Strait of Juan de Fuca, and to also collect and process bipinnaria larvae in zooplankton communities. In both cases we will collect samples of sea stars (and larvae) and survey them for the presence of the Sea Star Wasting Disease-associated densovirus (SSaDV) while on-board. We will also obtain sediment cores from the region to study past incidence of wasting disease and the virus. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
We will need CTD/rosette, plankton nets (255 um), deep-water otter or beam trawl for collecting sea stars, and deck space on the fantail for processing samples. I am unsure on wire requirements for the trawls. We also request clean lab space (indoors) for processing of samples and for running our qPCR instrument. |

|
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
We request a small, coastal class research vessel located in the Salish Sea region on which to perform this research. The time period (January 2016) is ideal since this will allow us to target peak spawning period for sea stars. 6 days will permit us to perform all aspects of the project at 12 sites around the Salish Sea, including steam time. |

Explain Instrumentation or Capability
requirements that could affect choice
of ship in scheduling. |
We would like to perform some kind of coring activity in bottom sediments of the Salish Sea, and to perform otter/beam trawls or dredging to obtain deep water sea stars. I appreciate the advice of the vessel operators in how best to accomplish this.
