3.  **OPERATIONS**

    1.  **[Data To Be Collected]{.underline}** -- Number range CHAPTERAn
        objective of the FOCI program is to identify seasonal
        ichthyoplankton assemblages and the physical and biological
        factors that influence their structure, composition, and change
        over time. To this end, we will collect ichthyoplankton using
        60-cm bongo nets (60BON).

> Ichthyoplankton samples will be collected from the surface waters on a
> grid of approximately 100 stations in the waters contiguous to Kodiak
> Island, Alaska. In addition, deep net samples for ichthyoplankton will
> be taken at approximately 13 stations on the outer continental shelf
> and upper slope at depths of 200, 400, and 600 meters. We will collect
> data on the physical environment using the Sea-Bird Electronics SBE-19
> SEACAT Profiler to relate larval fish assemblage structure to
> environmental variables (temperature and salinity). We will also
> conduct CTD casts using a Sea-Bird Electronics SBE 911plus CTD system
> at approximately 14 stations. This cruise will provide new information
> on larval fish assemblages on the shelf off Kodiak Island during
> winter.

1.  **[Scientific Computer System (SCS)]{.underline}** -- The ship\'s
    SCS shall operate throughout the cruise, acquiring and logging data
    from navigation, meteorological, oceanographic, and fisheries
    sensors. See ***[FOCI Standard Operating Instructions for NOAA Ship
    MILLER FREEMAN]{.underline}*** (SOI 5.2) for specific requirements.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
2.  **[Staging Plan]{.underline}** -- Number range CHAPTERThe majority
    of the equipment necessary for the cruise will be loaded onto **NOAA
    ship *MILLER FREEMAN*** when the ship is in port in Seattle,
    Washington, in January 2004. We will require dedicated use of the
    chemistry lab, rough lab, and slime lab for sample and equipment
    preparation and request as much counter and cabinet space as
    possible. We will use DataPlot for SEACAT operations.

3.  **[De-staging Plan]{.underline}** -- Some gear will be offloaded in
    Kodiak during the June 2004 inport. We will offload the remaining
    gear and plankton samples after the ship returns to Marine
    Operations Center -- Pacific in Seattle, Washington, in October,
    2004.

4.  [**Cruise Plan**­]{.underline} -- Number range CHAPTERThe cruise will
    depart from Kodiak, Alaska, at 1500 hrs. on Tuesday, March 2, 2004,
    and occupy a series of approximately 100 stations. Station positions
    and a map of the working area are located in Sections **[9.2
    Tables](#Tables) , [9.3 Figures](#Figures)**, respectively.

    1.  **[Grid Survey]{.underline}** -- During the grid survey, a
        Marine Assessment Monitoring and

> Prediction (MARMAP) bongo tow (SOI 3.2.2) with two, 0.505-mm mesh nets
> will be conducted first at most stations. At grid stations, the bongo
> net will be deployed to a depth of 200 meters, or to 10 meters off
> bottom, whichever is shallower. The SBE-19 SEACAT will be attached to
> the wire above the net frame. The sample from bongo Net 1 will be
> preserved in its entirety in 1.8% buffered Formaldehyde solution (5%
> formalin) and the sample from Net 2, whenever time allows, will be
> rough sorted, contents identified, and then discarded.
>
> Selected grid stations have been chosen for Sameoto neuston tows (see
> Section [**3.6.1 Neuston Net Tows**](#Neuston)) to collect surface
> ichthyoplankton at night (between ½ hour after sunset until ½ hour
> before sunrise). At these stations, the neuston tow and/or CTD cast
> will precede the MARMAP Bongo tow.

2.  **[Arrowtooth Flounder Egg and Early Larvae Tows (ATF
    Stations)]{.underline}** -- At these stations, bongo tows will be
    deployed to 10-m off bottom at depths of approximately 200, 400, and
    600 meters. At stations with depths greater than 600 meters, bongo
    tows will be deployed to 600 meters.

5.  **[Station Locations]{.underline}** -- Number range CHAPTERSee
    Section **[9.2 Tables](#Tables).**

6.  **[Station Operations]{.underline}** -- The following are operations
    to be conducted on this cruise. The procedures for these operations
    are listed in the ***[FOCI Standard Operating Instructions for NOAA
    Ship MILLER FREEMAN]{.underline}*** (SOI). Operations not addressed
    in the SOI and changes to standard procedures are addressed below.

-   CTD/Water Sample Operations (SOI 3.2.1), and

-   MARMAP Bongo Tows (SOI 3.2.2).

    1.  []{#Neuston .anchor}Number range CHAPTER**[Neuston Net
        Tows]{.underline}**

        1.  **[Description]{.underline}** -- Neuston nets are used for
            sampling the upper few centimeters of the water column.
            There are many frame styles that may be used; however, we
            use a Sameoto sampler made of stainless steel. The mouth
            opening is 30-cm x 50-cm and is designed to fish half in and
            half out of the water.

        2.  **[Rates/Fishing]{.underline}** -- The vessel should be
            moving slowly ahead, about 1.5 to 2.0 knots, so that the net
            is fishing half in and half out of the water. The exact
            speed is a learning process and may vary with sea
            conditions. Lower the neuston net to the surface and pay out
            10 to 15 meters of rope. It may be necessary to adjust the
            ship\'s speed to maintain the proper skimming action. Start
            the stopwatch when the net starts to fish and tow the net
            for approximately 9.5 minutes, unless otherwise instructed.
            After 9.5 minutes, decrease vessel speed so that the net can
            be hauled in easier. Advise winch operator when time is
            nearly up and retrieve when ready. Read and record flow
            meter revolutions, duration of tow, and any comments.

        3.  **[Preservation]{.underline}** -- The neuston sample should
            be preserved immediately, as specified in the ***[FOCI Field
            Manual]{.underline}*** or sample collection request forms.

        4.  **[Maintenance]{.underline}** -- Check net for holes and
            fill flow meter with water.
