    • Macro Benthos and other data from GILLISS and other platforms from 1975-10-27 to 1976-08-27 (NCEI Accession 7700455)

    Metadata Updated: May 1, 2025

    Data was submitted by Dr. Gerald L. Engel. This study was organized to collect data on Parasite Type and Location. Parasite (both ecto- and endo-), and site of infection were looked into. SST, wave, turbidity, gear type (trawl), species, parasite (both ecto- and endo-), and site of infection (i.e., data on parasite type and location) data were collected. The documentation describes instruments employed for sampling, units, and a detailed description of the record 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). Special codes employed by VIMS to describe parasite types and location were included as hardcopy. The original information submitted on tape has been converted into the current NODC storage format.
