Summary[edit]

Description

The scientists and crew aboard the NOAA Ship GORDON GUNTER completed an intensive SEAMAP winter survey of ichthyoplankton in the eastern Gulf of Mexico from the De Soto Canyon to the Straits of Florida.

Survey objectives were to assess and measure the occurrence, abundance, vertical distribution and pelagic habitat of the early life stages of winter spawning fishes (especially the groupers) from mid-continental shelf to deep Gulf waters.

Among the non-standard collecting gear used during this cruise were a Methot juvenile fish trawl (lower left panel) and a 1 m MOCNESS (upper right panel) which was loaned to the SEFSC/Mississippi Laboratories by the NEFSC/Narragansett Laboratory. Sampling with the MOCNESS resulted in the most extensive set of discrete depth plankton samples ever collected in the region and a rare expedition into the Gulf of Mexico during winter months.

A diverse array of organisms were captured such as a young Dealfish, Trachipterus arcticus (middle left panel); neustonic fishes and invertebrates (center panel); and the pelagic blue nudibranch, Glaucus atlanticus (middle right panel).

Scientific party pictured in upper left panel include: Front row - Pam Bond, Kim Williams, Denice Drass, Christina Schobernd and Joanne Lyczkowski-Shultz; Back row - Glenn Zapfe and Alonzo Hamilton.
