Abstract
Cruise 3 of the R/V ANTON BRUUN, originating from Bombay on August 8
and terminating at Port Louis, Mauritius on September 20, 1963, was the
first of two cruises on which a special effort was made to sample the
meso- and bathypelagic fauna of the western Indian Ocean. Collections
were made with a 10-ft Isaacs-Kidd midwater trawl at 17 stations from
11°56'N latitude to 40°54'S latitude, along the 60°E meridian. In
addition to the midwater trawl collections, the basic program of hydrography,
biological oceanography, and primary production was continued.
Presented in this report are the reduced oceanographic, chemical,
and biological data, station lists of plankton, midwater trawl, and
miscellaneous biological collections, and bathythermograph positions
for Cruise 3. A narrative report of Cruise 3 was issued as News Bulletin
No.4 of the U. S. Program in Biology, IIOE, dated February, 1964.
