Zooplankton and ichthyoplankton abundances based on bongo nets tows during the NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown ECOA-3 cruise (EXPOCODE 33RO20220806) along the East Coast of North America from 2022-08-06 to 2022-09-23 (NCEI Accession 0310406)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 27, 2026 at 09:41 PM | Dataset Last Updated: December 06, 2025 at 12:00 AM
This dataset contains zooplankton and ichthyoplankton abundances from bongo net tows during the third East Coast Ocean Acidification cruise (ECOA-3). The cruise took place from August 6 to September 23, 2022 aboard the NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown. The bongo net tows were performed at subset of 73 ECOA-3 stations along the East Coast of North America. The cruise was designed to obtain a synoptic snapshot of key carbon, physical, biological and biogeochemical parameters as they relate to ocean acidification (OA) in the coastal realm. The bongo net tows support the biological sampling component of the cruise in an effort to link chemical and physical drivers to biological and ecological effects. This effort was conducted in support of the monitoring and research objectives of the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program (OAP).
