Advance Contract Award Notice (Acan) for an Underwater Video Plankton Recorder. 2. Definition of the Requirement Foraging Habitats of the Endangered North Atlantic Right Whale Are Characterized by High Concentrations of Calanus Copepods (I.E., an Abundant Type of Zooplankton) in Near-Surface and Deep Water. to Characterize and Understand the Formation of These High-Concentration Areas Requires an Instrument that Can Measure Fine-Scale Spatial Distributions of Copepods In-Situ and Characterize Their Environmental Context. Such an Instrument Must Provide Both Adequate Image Resolution to Differentiate Calanus (Large, Dominant Copepods) at the Genus Level and Adequate Volume Sampled to Detect Copepods at Moderate Concentrations. Plankton Imagers, which Are Essentially Underwater Microscopes, Trade off Image Resolution with Volume Sampled (I.E., Taxonomic Resolution Vs. Detection Limit), Resulting in a Limited Range of Suitable Designs. to Understand the Influence of the Ocean Environment on Copepod Distributions, Depth-Specific Measurements of Water Properties Such As Temperature, Salinity, Fluorescence (A Proxy for Phytoplankton Biomass) and Turbidity Must be Made Simultaneous with the Plankton Observations. to Facilitate Analysis of Small-Scale Plankton-Environment Relationships and Reduce the Risk of Misaligning the Two Data Streams During Post-Hoc Integration, Plankton Imager Design Should Integrate Both Plankton and Environmental Observations, Either in a Common Data Stream or by Associating Them with a Common Metadata Stream. to Support a Broad Range of Sampling Opportunities, the Plankton Imager Should be Easy to Use on a Variety of Different Sampling Platforms, Including Small Platforms Without a Dedicated Winch and Conducting Cab...
