Summary of Field Work: |
The proposed research will characterize the metabolic consequence of daily physiological rhythms and DVM for a model zooplankton species, the abundant subtropical copepod Pleuromamma xiphias.
The project will require a four day sampling effort in the location of the BATS station that will collect animals from the water column using a modified Tucker trawl with insulated closing cod ends. It will have an associated seabird electronics package requiring conducting cable and will target~100-200 m and 450-600 m six times per day to collect organisms for physiology experiments. One CTD cast per day will be made to characterize the water column structure. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
0.322 Conducting cable + winch for net, A-frame, CTD rosette package, space to put two upright incubators, wet lab space |

Optimum Start Date:
|
3/16/2019 |
Dates to Avoid: |
Optimal sampling of the target organism is between February and April, although it can be captured year round. To complete the project in the projected timeline the latest sampling would be in September. |

BATS region |
| Description of Op Area: |
We would like to sample between Hydrostation “S” and the BATS site. The precise location will be chosen based on local conditions, with the goal of staying within the same mesoscale feature for the duration of sampling. |

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements |
Three PI-s and a BIOS research technician will join the two operator technicians making a 6-person science party. Two operator technicians are required owing to the 24 h operation plan (sampling every 6 h). One of the operator technicians would need experience with the acoustic package requested. |
