Data were collected using 61cm diameter Bongo nets. (It is the same instrument and configuration as used during the U.S. GLOBEC Georges Bank studies 1995-1999). The net size during MARMAP was .333mm. After MARMAP. two net sizes were used: .333mm for zooplankton and .505mm for fish eggs and larvae. Tows were for a minimum of five (5) minutes to a maximum depth of 200 meters. If the water depth were less than 200m, then the tow was taken within 5 meters of the bottom. The trawl wire angle was maintained at 45 degrees. Samples were preserved in quart jars in 4 percent formaline.
During the MARMAP cruises, a 20cm Bongo was also towed during transecs, above the 61cm Bongo nets, with .165mm and .252mm nets. All frame aperatures had General Oceanic digital flow meters.
