Kleen 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.
