MIE-3 4 Third Micronekton Inter-calibration Experiment, MIE-3 4.1 Macrozooplankton and Micronekton in the eastern Bering Sea:
During the previous micronekton inter-calibration experiments, the following gears were tested: IKMT, FMT ( = HUFT), Cobb trawl, MOCNESS-1 and MOCNESS-10, MOHT and a midwater otter trawl (OT) with Multi-sampler), and the superiority of MOHT over the other gears was shown. However, no direct comparis...

| Summary: | During the previous micronekton inter-calibration experiments, the following gears were tested: IKMT, FMT ( = HUFT), Cobb trawl, MOCNESS-1 and MOCNESS-10, MOHT and a midwater otter trawl (OT) with Multi-sampler), and the superiority of MOHT over the other gears was shown. However, no direct comparison has been made between the MOHT and the IKMT. The latter gear has been used widely in previous (historical) micronekton studies, so the direct comparison between these gears is critical in order to utilize and standardize archived micronekton data. The third micronekton inter-calibration experiment (MIE-3) was carried out in the eastern Bering Sea during September 21–22, 2007. The experiment was run during the Ocean Carrying Capacity program |
