Summary of Field Work: |
We would like to make midwater trawls, possible some benthic trawls aboard the R/V Robert G. Sproul during a three to six day cruise with 24 hour collecting (so we will need an additional res. tech) at the end of May or early to mid June 2016. Ideally, we would like to be able to get far enough out to sample at depths from 1000 meters to 3,000 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 primarily bioluminescent fishes. 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 valuable or 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 midwater trawls and possibly some bottom 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 too are being refined with the folks at the Marine Vertebrates Collection. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
We need to collect during the second half of May or first half of June. We are flexible on dates, but we really need to fit the trip in that window. |
