Main Endeavour Field Plankton Sampler Deployed 2023-07-10

The McLane Phytoplankton Sampler (SN 14730-03) was deployed on 2023-07-10 at Main Endeavour Field. Main Endeavour Field is a vent field located at Endeavour Ridge, where hydrothermal vent systems are observed. This device is a Plankton Sampler. Plankton Samplers collect samples of plankton from the water column in a time series. Samples are analyzed upon the recovery of the instrument, to provide qualitative and quantitative information about plankton in the water column. It was deployed on a fixed platform. Data from this deployment were archived and made available through Ocean Networks Canada's Oceans 3.0 digital infrastructure, with quality assurance and derived data products following established practices.

麦克莱恩浮游植物采样器（SN 14730-03）于2023年7月10日部署于主恩代沃尔矿区（Main Endeavour Field）。主恩代沃尔矿区位于恩代沃尔海岭（Endeavour Ridge），该区域分布有热液喷口系统。本设备属于浮游生物采样器范畴，可按时间序列从水柱中采集浮游生物样本。待设备回收后，将对采集所得样本开展分析，以获取水柱内浮游生物的定性与定量数据。本次部署采用固定式平台进行搭载。本批次部署产生的所有数据已完成归档，并通过加拿大海洋网络（Ocean Networks Canada）的Oceans 3.0数字基础设施对外共享；所有数据均遵循既定规范实施质量管控，并生成配套衍生数据产品。
