Description:The NOAA Ship CHAPMAN departed Pascagoula, MS on August 28, 1992 to conduct the SEAMAP fall ichthyoplankton survey. A predefined cruise track containing one hundred SEAMAP stations was targeted for sampling. standard SEAMAP operations were implemented at 32 sampling sites during part I, August 28-September 5; and 68 sampling sites during part II, September· 8-20; and 68 sampling sites during part III, september 21-29. A third component of the survey consisted of 48 sites of red drum/snapper collections for the Mississippi Gulf Coast Research Laboratory (GCRL), and 22 GCRL/MARFIN snapper sampling sites. A single station was conducted where SEAMAP and GCRL project sampling sites were in close proximity. The result was a total of 164 ichthyoplankton stations occupied during this survey. The third component of this survey was conducted aboard the NOAA Ship OREGON II from September 23 through 29, 1992. Survey sites from the original SEAMAP plan and the GCRL/MARFIN snapper grid were targeted. The fall SEAMAP and ancillatory project data, planned for collection during the third component of this survey, are databased and referenced as OREGON II cruise 92-05 (201) part IV. A change in vessels for this survey was necessary in order to accommodate the special requirements of acoustical sensing equipment for the MARFIN Coastal Pelagic project.
