Description:The primary objective of the cruise was to assess the impact of changing biological and physical properties of the Mid-Atlantic Bight, Southern New England, Georges Bank and Gulf of Maine portions of the Northeast Continental Shelf ecosystem which influence the sustainable productivity of the living marine resources. Secondary objectives of this cruise were:
the analysis of phytoplankton samples for nitrogen stable isotope ratios ; collection of samples for zooplankton genome studies; the examination of plankton samples at sea for concentrations of Calanus finmarchicus to correlate with right whale sightings; 1 meter MOCNESS discrete depth sampling to study advection of this species into the Gulf of Maine; a bongo-video plankton recorder sampling comparison for the examination of differences in data collected by these different technologies.
