Cirripedia Barnacle 1082 Ed Weber ed.weber@noaa.gov Standard CalCOFI ichthyoplankton tows: The standard oblique tow uses a bongo net (71 cm diameter, 0.505 mm mesh) or 1-m ring net (prior to 1978) retrieved at a constant wire angle (45 degrees) from 210 m depth to surface. Surface tows use a Manta net; vertical tows use CalVET/Pairovet nets. Flowmeters measure volume filtered. Samples are preserved in 5% formalin. Fish eggs and larvae are sorted, identified to lowest taxon possible, enumerated, and measured. The study covers the California Current ecosystem, primarily off Southern California (standard lines 77-93) but historically extending from the border of Canada to the tip of Baja California. The time series for this dataset generally begins in 1951, continuing to the present with quarterly cruises. Samples are collected at fixed stations along the CalCOFI grid. Oblique tows are standardized to counts per 10 m^2 of sea surface. Surface tows are standardized to counts per 1,000 m^3. Ed Weber Data Manager CalCOFI is a partnership between the NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW).
