Bottom samples were collected in the Gulf of Maine during July,
1971 and June, 1972 using DSRV ALVIN and RV GOSNOLD. The techniques and
results are embodied in a paper entitled "Quantitative Biological
Assessment of the Benthic Fauna in the Deep Basins of the Gulf of Maine"
by G. T. Rowe, P. T. Polloni and R. L. Haedrich. Many of the conclusions
made in that paper were based on summaries of the abundance of each
benthic species of living invertebrate animal in each kind of sample,
but those original data would not be accepted by the journal (JOURNAL OF
THE FISHERIES RESEARCH BOARD OF CANADA) because the table was too long.
The purpose of this technical report is to put those raw data in a form
available(on request from the authors)to any interested ecologists.The work was supported by ONR Contract N00014 - 66 - C00284 and

Distribution of samples in the Gulf of Maine. Solid circles represent van Veen grabs taken from R/V GOSNOLD and open circles are DSRV ALVIN dive sites. Dive 404 is at the same location as 329. -2-Table 1. Each column represents a different location and sample and each row represents the abundance of a particular species of inver-tebrate animal in each sample. Parts (a) and (c) contain data obtai ned from box cores and tube (core 1 i ner) cores which were placed into the bottom by DSRV ALVIN, whereas the data in part (b) came from van Veen grab samples taken from R/V GOSNOLD. All the samples were sieved through 0.42 mm mesh screen,fixed in 10% buffered formalin and sorted to species using a dissecting microscope. -3-Table la.
