CRUISE RESULTS : NOAA Fisheries Research Vessel Delaware II, Cruise No. DE 11-02, Ecosystems Monitoring Survey, and Fish Egg, Larvae and Juvenile Survey CRUISE RESUTLS CRUISE NO DE 11-02

The cruise period was from 1 to 18 February 2011. The cruise was originally due to sail on 31 January but was delayed one day to replace an injured crewman. The cruise was done all in one leg and covered the entire survey area from Cape Hatteras to Georges Bank and the Gulf of Maine including the Bay of Fundy. Thanks to generally good weather conditions and a lack of any vessel problems the Delaware II completed all the designated ecosystem monitoring stations and was able to sample at sixteen additional stations in the western Gulf of Maine for fish eggs, larvae and juveniles, within the time allotted. 2011 NMFS (National Marine Fisheries Service) NEFSC (Northeast Fisheries Science Center) Submitted Public Domain 1930
