    • BENTHIC SPECIES and Other Data from GILLISS and Other Platforms from 1976-06-14 to 1976-09-02 (NCEI Accession 7700456)

    Metadata Updated: November 1, 2025

    Data submitted by Dr. Gerald L. Engel. The data was collected between June 1976 and September 1976. This study was organized to collect Histopathology and Benthic data. SST, wave, turbidity, gear type (trawl v.s dredge), benthic species counts and weights were collected. These data are "megabenthic" species. The documentation describes instruments employed for sampling, units, and a detailed description of the record format. The original data on tape has been converted to current NODC storage format. These studies were part of the Mid-Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf Studies (OCS). These data were collected by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS).
