Marine invertebrate pathology and other data from the MILLER FREEMAN as part of the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) from 24 August 1976 to 13 October 1976 (NODC Accession 7700664)

Marine invertebrate pathology and other data were collected from the MILLER FREEMAN. Data were collected by the Pacific Marine Evironmental Laboratory (PMEL) as part of Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) from 24 August 1976 to 13 October 1976. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard F063 Marine Invertebrate Pathology format. Full format description is available from the NODC homepage at www.nodc.noaa.gov/. An analog file for this accession is available from NODC user services.

The F063 format contains data from examinations of diseased marine invertebrates. Although these data maybe from field observations, they derive primarily from laboratory analyses. Data include: catch statistics (e.g., total weight, number of individual, identity of disease and number of diseased individuals) by species for any number of species; and biological condition of selected specimens. The size location, and frequency of lesions may be reported for individual specimens. Specimens are identified by an NODC Taxonomic Code. A text record is available for comments.
