Objectives

RRS Discovery cruise 264 was the third of four supported by the NERC Marine Productivity (MarProd) thematic programme. The MarProd cruise series provides the main opportunity for data- and sample-gathering to address the overall programme goal, viz: "to develop coupled modelling and observation systems for the pelagic ecosystem, with emphasis on physical factors affecting zooplankton dynamics". The principal cruise-specific research objectives for Discovery 264 were as follows: 1) Map the physical features of the survey region (Irminger Sea and parts of the Iceland Basin) in terms of water mass distribution, velocity field and mixed layer properties 2) To measure high resolution profiles of inorganic nutrient concentrations 3) Collect water samples for plant pigment and microscopic analyses, to estimate the biomass of different taxonomic/functional groups of microplankton. 4) Determine the 3D abundance of mesozooplankton of interest (primarily the copepod Calanus finmarchicus), and their planktivorous predators (primarily euphausiid spp), obtaining material for further taxonomic, physiological and biochemical studies. The process studies covered: estimation of primary productivity, Calanus egg production and naupliae development, the influence of food quality on calanus egg production, Oithona and Calanus naupliae feeding experiments, Oithona egg production, collection of samples for lipid hormone analysis, collection of samples fo C/N and stable isotope ratios. The broad scope of the dataset compiled by the Marine Productivity series of cruises to the Irminger Sea is intended to facilitate comparisons with historical datasets (eg NORWESTLANT, 1963 and Continuous Plankton Recorder surveys); EU-supported zooplankton programmes (TASC and ICOS); and other national and international studies.
