(b) XBT and surface salinity 

 deployments between the station tran- 

 sects (along the towing transects) would 

 greatly add to the utility of the survey 

 temperature and salinity coverage; 



(c) Given the instrumentation 

 available on this cruise, such a survey 

 could be accomplished with two persons 

 per watch; 



(d) The Northeast Fisheries 

 Center's equipment supply, of the kind 

 used on this cruise, is in need of repair 

 and some replenishment, particularly 

 with regard to rosette, water bottles, and 

 flow-throw fluorometer; 



(e) Fourteen to 17 days seems 

 reasonable for the completion of such a 

 cruise of the ALBATROSS IV, and 

 usual weather. 



SPECIAL NOTES 



On 21 July the ARGO MAINE 

 offered assistance to a 24-foot 

 recreational fishing boat which was 

 disabled some 60 miles off the North 

 Carolina coast. Attempts to repair their 

 engine by the Chief Engineer failed. 

 The ARGO MAINE stood by for 

 approximately 7 hours until a Coast 

 Guard cutter out of Cape Hatteras 

 arrive to tow in the disabled boat. 



A port call of approximately 30- 

 minutes at Narragansett, Rhode Island, 

 the night of 26 July to pick up the 

 license to conduct the cruise in 

 Canadian waters. 



DISPOSITION OF DATA 



Biological samples from the CPR 

 were delivered to the Narragansett, 

 Rhode Island, Laboratory for 

 preprocessing and forwarding to Gdynia, 

 Poland, for identification of 

 phytoplankton and zooplankton 

 components. Samples from the 0.6 1-m 



bongo were delivered to the 

 Narragansett Laboratory for shipment to 

 Zaklad Sortowania i Oznaczania 

 Planktonu (ZSIOP), Szczecin, Poland, 

 for volume determinations, sorting, 

 identification and enumeration of 

 plankton community structure and 

 abundance. Chlorophyll and nutrient 

 samples were delivered to the 

 Narragansett Laboratory for 

 preprocessing and forwarding to the 

 University of Rhode Island for final 

 analysis. Water colunm fluorescence 

 and light transmission, and 2-m 

 fluorescence data were delivered to the 

 Narragansett Laboratory for processing. 

 The final fluorescence and nutrient data 

 will be forwarded to the Bigelow 

 Laboratory for analyses. CTD data were 

 delivered to the Narragansett Laboratory 

 for preprocessing and forwarding to the 

 Northeast Fisheries Center, 

 Oceanography Branch, Woods Hole, for 

 analysis.
