Oceanographic Data, Specimen Log, and Imagery collected during the Bioluminescence and Vision on the Deep-Seafloor 2015 Expedition on R/V Pelican in the Gulf of Mexico from 2015-07-14 to 2015-07-27 (NCEI Accession 0225519)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: May 29, 2026 at 07:50 PM | Dataset Last Updated: March 12, 2021 at 12:00 AM
This data set contains oceanographic data (ADCP, ship sensor, navigation), specimen logs, and color underwater screen-grab images taken with a 24-megapixel digital photo camera. The objective was to explore various regions to search for new habitats, species and communities of organisms, search for bioluminescence on the deep seafloor, explore the relationship between vision and bioluminescence in benthic animals, and explore for further examples of unusual benthic/pelagic coupling involving bioluminescence.
