<p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <ol> <li>Values are the number of organisms beneath 10 m^2 of sea surface.</li> <li>Taxa were selected based on time series mean abundance &gt; 100 per 100 m^3 and occurrence in greater than 5% of samples.</li> <li>Number of stations between the 100 m^3 and 10 m^2 datasets may be different because the number of larvae under 10 m^2 was not calculated at stations where the net was greater than 5-m off the bottom.</li> </ol> <p>Date: 26 January 2011:<br /> As of July 30, 2010 we have attempted to replace the taxonomic abbreviations with the actual names in the displayed data. The original abbreviations are shown below for historical purposes.</p> <p><strong>List of taxonomic abbreviations and MARMAP codes:</strong></p> <pre> COLUMN NAME TAXANOMIC NAME MARMAP TAXONOMIC CODE(S) ctyp Centropages typicus 103 calfin Calanus finmarchicus 101 pseudo Pseudocalanus spp. 102 and 4128 penilia Penilia avirostris 611 and 613 tlong Temora longicornis 104 cham Centropages hamatus 109 echino Echinodermata 1500-1599 append Appendicularia 700-799 para Paracalanus parvus 135 gas Gastropoda 300-399, 1100-1199, 3300-3399 acarspp Acartia spp. 4027 mlucens Metridia lucens 105 evadnespp Evadne spp. 605 salps Salpa 3400-3499 oithspp Oithona spp. 138 cirr Cirripedia 2100-2199 chaeto Chaetognatha 200-299 hyper Hyperiidea 400-499, 800-849, 4600-4699 gam Gammaridea 870-899, 4400-4499 evadnord Evadne nordmanni 607 coe Coelenterata 1200-1299, 1800- 1899, 2300-2399 calminor Calanus minor 143 copepoda Copepoda 100 clauso Clausocalanus arcuicornis 157 dec Decapoda 500-599, 1000- 1099,3100-3299 euph Euphausiacea 2000-2099 prot Protozoa 3900-3999 acarlong Acartia longiremis 107 euc Eucalanus spp. 180 pel Pelecypoda 1300-1399 poly Polychaeta 2500-2599 podon Podon spp. 601 fish Pisces 3500 bry Bryozoa 900-949 fur Clausocalanus furcatus 4064 calspp Calanus spp. 178 oncaea Oncaea spp. 191 cory Corycaeidae 4045 ost Ostracoda 3600-3699 tstyl Temora stylifera 153 oithspin Oithona spinirostris 114 mysids Mysidacea 2800-2899 temspp Temora spp. 4059 tort Tortanus discaudatus 108 paraspp Paracalanus spp. 4118 </pre> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>NOAA/NMFS Data Use and Acknowledgement Policy:</strong><br /> These data are provided by the Northeast Fisheries Science Center of the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service. A number of different vessels have been involved in sampling, and gear and methods have evolved over time. All of these factors affect sampling and the interpretation of data. The agency has developed correction factors to adjust for these changes and use other statistical tools for population estimates. The data we present here can be used as an index of abundance (over time or space) within a species or among species with similar vulnerability to the sampling gear. The data refer to a standard tow or sample and are not normalized to a unit area. Please refer to the detailed metadata for each dataset for more information, and to the data products for useful summaries of the data. Users are encouraged to contact the responsible agencies for guidance in using the data.</p> <p>It is not ethical to publish data without proper attribution or co-authorship.

Publication of descriptive or interpretive results derived immediately and directly from the data is the privilege and responsibility of the investigators who collect the data.</p> <p>The purpose of a data archive is to facilitate collaboration between scientists, to allow the combination of multiple data sets for interdisciplinary and comparative studies, and the development and testing of new theories. The data managed by the Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) are made available even though they may not be \"final\" (i.e.,&nbsp;error free) data.</p> <p>Any person making substantial use of a data set must communicate with the investigators who acquired the data and/or the Data Management Office prior to publication and anticipate that the data collectors will be co-authors of published results.
