Abstract

NMDIS works together with Second Institute of Oceanography,SOA on gathering megafauna data during research cruises in COMRA's contract area in 2014. Samples were collected using Diving gear and Camera system and fixed by using Formalin.All collected data are processed, quality controlled, and provided with metadata for stations in a common workflow, and a common set of parameters with preferred and standardised units is determined and stored. Quality control includes logic tests and value range tests.
