Environmental assessment of the south Texas outer continental shelf : biological investigations from 1961-01-01 to 1975-12-01 (NCEI Accession 7600741)

browse graphicPreview graphic
Biological and chemical data were collected using net, buoy, and bottle casts from the GUS III and LONGHORN in the Gulf of Mexico from 01 January 1961 to 01 December 1975. Data were submitted by the National Marine Fisheries Service in Galveston, Texas with support of the Outer Continental Shelf - South Texas (OCS). The biological properties are zooplankton, plankton, and fisheries while the chemical properties are phosphorus, phosphate, nitrate and oxygen.

Note: Metadata for this accession were extracted from a legacy database maintained by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM).

Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description.

To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.
