Frank:

I have placed on the NODC anonymous ftp site, a total of 2  files
(see details below). 
Data set includes epifaunal inverebrate trawl surveys taxonomy (NODC codes), 
scientific names, and weights, 12 stations.  This data set is a rescued, 
OCSEAP project file, July 1979 field period.  These data were
received courtesy of the Univ. of Alaska/IMS Database web
server.  
These are "coastal ocean" data sets.
