Presentation Transcript

  1. Zooplankton Ecology Group • Principal Investigator: Baldo Marinovic • Technical Staff • Asila Ghoul • Joy Feathterstone • Ann Vassilieva • Jason Mulsow

  2. Group Focus • Conduct Net Sampling of Zooplankton in association with CIMT shipboard surveys • Analyses • Zooplankton biovolume • Euphausiid (krill) abundance, species compostition, and demography • Gelatinous plankton (large medusa, ctenophores) abundance

  3. T100 T101 T102 T301 T401 T402 T501 T601 T702 T701

  4. Accomplishments to date • Since Nov 2002 approximately 300 net samples collected from the CIMT survey grid • All have been processed for biovolume, krill, and gelatinous zooplankton

  5. Collaborations • SWFSC-Santa Cruz Lab: Annual Juvenile Rockfish Recruitment Surey • Provide personnel/expertise for krill data collection • PaCOOS: CalCOFI • Extend quarterly sampling to include central CA lines 67 and 60 • Collaborate with SCOOS to integrate euphausiid data base

  6. User Groups • MBNMS – Krill/Gelatinous plankton data utilized to characterized critical prey spp distribution within MBNMS • NMFS – sample analyses for Leatherback Turtle foraging habitat characterization • PMFC- input for krill management working group

  7. Outreach • Undergraduate research internships (UCSC) • Cosmos Summer Science Camp (Grades 9-12)
