Survey Vessel: M/V SIOUX CITY
Methods: Diurnal pelagic observations were maintained enroute to Santa
Barbara, between Santa Barbara and Anacapa, enroute from Santa
Cruz to San Nicolas, and after departing San Nicolas until sun-
set April 9. Landings were made on Santa Barbara and Anacapa.
Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa and San Miguel were surveyed from the
ship, but the planned landing at Prince Islet, San Miguel,
was prevented by high wind and rough sea. DeLong surveyed
pinnipeds on San Nicolas April 5-7 prior to boarding the
SIOUX CITY. Mechanical troubles on the vessel restricted ob-
servations in the Grid to a few hours during the afternoon of
April 8.
