Bottom samples were collected in the Gulf of Maine during July,
1971 and June, 1972 using DSRV ALVIN and RV GOSNOLD. The techniques and
results are embodied in a paper entitled "Quantitative Biological
Assessment of the Benthic Fauna in the Deep Basins of the Gulf of Maine"
by G. T. Rowe, P. T. Polloni and R. L. Haedrich. Many of the conclusions
made in that paper were based on summaries of the abundance of each
benthic species of living invertebrate animal in each kind of sample,
but those original data would not be accepted by the journal (JOURNAL OF
THE FISHERIES RESEARCH BOARD OF CANADA) because the table was too long.
The purpose of this technical report is to put those raw data in a form
available(on request from the authors)to any interested ecologists.

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2007-09)The five noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon) are biologically and chemically inert, making them ideal oceanographic tracers. Additionally, the noble gases have a wide range of solubilities and molecular ...
