   PI-Notes:   
   Samples obtained from Greta Fryxell's mocness system.  Each sample is a 
   5% split of the 26 um nets at each depth.  Samples were preserved with 20%
   buffered formalin.  Strontium chloride was added to aid with acantharian
   preservation.  Samples stored in dark and refrigerated.

Instruments

MOCNESS

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: MOCNESS

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/NETT0097/

Generic Description:

The Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System or MOCNESS is a family of net systems based on the Tucker Trawl principle. There are currently 8 different sizes of MOCNESS in existence which are designed for capture of different size ranges of zooplankton and micro-nekton Each system is designated according to the size of the net mouth opening and in two cases, the number of nets it carries. The original MOCNESS (Wiebe et al, 1976) was a redesigned and improved version of a system described by Frost and McCrone (1974).(from MOCNESS manual) This designation is used when the specific type of MOCNESS (number and size of nets) was not specified by the contributing investigator.
