Science Activities: 1. Conduct broad-scale surveys to map the spatial
                    distribution of Calanus finmarchicus and its major
                    invertebrate predators in the deep basins of the Gulf
                    of Maine
                    2. Collect MOCNESS samples of Calanus finmarchicus for
                    molecular studies of its diapause physiology and
                    population genetics
                    3. Conduct broad-scale surveys to map the spatial
                    distribution of bio-optical properties in the Gulf of
                    Maine
                    4. Biomapper tows, CTD/rosette stations, MOC-1 net tows
