Participate in an international exploration of the non-hydrothermal ecosystems of the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge, focusing on the Charlie-Gibbs Fracture Zone; 2. Survey the bathypelagic and benthopelagic nekton using midwater and bottom trawls and hydroaccoustic methods, with concurrent sampling of environmental factors (i.e. depth, hydrography) and topographic characters for distributional analysis to examine temporal changes by comparison with the results of a Norwegian cruise on R/V G.O. Sars in 2004; 3. Collect, sort, identify, and curate whole specimens and tissue collections for future analysis; 4. Assemble a database of species, species abundance/distribution, as well as specimens and photographs of freshly collected specimens; 5. Provide research opportunities and training in taxonomy, systematics and field oceanographic techniques for students and professional researchers; 6. As an auxiliary objective, a marine mammal observer will conduct a visual survey of mammals, turtles and birds during daylight hours when weather permits. The overall goal is to survey and describe the biodiversity of the bathypelagic fauna near the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. completed John Galbraith NEFSC Chief Scientist 508-495-2000 166 Water Street Woods Hole MA 02543 USA john.galbraith@noaa.gov principalInvestigator notPlanned Earth Science > Oceans > Ocean Acoustics > Acoustic Scattering Earth Science > Oceans > Aquatic Sciences > Fisheries Earth Science > Oceans > Ocean Acoustics Earth Science > Biosphere > Ecosystems > Marine Ecosystems > Pelagic Earth Science > Biosphere > Ecosystems > Marine Ecosystems Earth Science > Biosphere > Ecosystems > Marine Ecosystems > Benthic Earth Science > Biosphere > Ecosystems > Aquatic Ecosystems Earth Science > Oceans > Bathymetry/Seafloor Topography > Bathymetry Earth Science > Oceans > Bathymetry/Seafloor Topography > Seafloor Topography theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 2020-01-09 publication 9.1 NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Earth Science Data and Information System https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/learn/find-data/idn/gcmd-keywords Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keywords The information provided on this page seeks to define how the GCMD Keywords are structured, used and accessed.

Bigelow is one of the most technologically advanced fisheries survey vessels in the world and it supports NOAA's mission to protect, restore and manage the use of living marine, coastal, and ocean resources through ecosystem-based management. Its primary objective is to study and monitor Northeast Marine Fisheries, throughout New England. The ship also observes weather, sea state, and other environmental conditions, conducts habitat assessments, and surveys marine mammal and marine bird populations.
