IntroductionThis cruise report provides a summary of scientific activities aboard the SSV CorwithCramer during cruise C-241 (14 May – 17 June 2012). The 1670 nm, five-weekcruise served as the scientific data collection portion of the Sea Semester: MarineBiodiversity & Conservation program with Sea Education Association (SEA).Extensive oceanographic sampling was conducted for both student researchprojects (Table 1) and the ongoing SEA research program. Students measuredbiodiversity and examined physical, chemical, biological, and environmentaloceanographic characteristics in accordance with their written proposals andpresented their results in a final poster session and papers (available upon requestfrom SEA).The brief summary of data contained in this report is not intended to represent finaldata interpretation and should not be excerpted or cited without written permissionfrom SEA.Amy NS Siuda and Erik R ZettlerChief Scientists, C-2415

Data DescriptionThis section provides a record of data collected aboard the SSV Corwith Cramercruise C-241 (US State Department Cruise: 2012-005) from Christiansted, St. Croix,USVI to Woods Hole, Massachusetts, USA (Figure 1).Figure 1. Hourly positions along the C-241 cruise track.During the 5-week voyage, we sampled at 42 discrete oceanographic stations (Table2), each with an associated surface sample for chlorophyll a and total inorganicphosphate (Table 3). Additionally, we continuously sampled water depth and subbottom profiles (CHIRP system), upper ocean currents (ADCP, Figure 2), and seasurface temperature, salinity, CDOM fluorescence, in-vivo chlorophyll fluorescence,and transmittance (seawater flow-through system, Figure 3 – temperature, salinity).Discrete CTD measurements of vertical temperature and salinity profiles arepresented in Figure 4. Additional instrumentation on the CTDs allowed for profilingof dissolved oxygen, fluorescence, transmittance, PAR and CDOM fluorescence.Summaries of sea surface and water column chemical and biological properties arefound in Tables 4-7. Lengthy CTD, CHIRP, ADCP and flow-through data are notfully presented here. All unpublished data can be made available by arrangementwith the SEA data archivist (contact information, p. 2).7

ABSTRACTS A Study of the Biodiversity of Vibrio Bacteria in the Sargasso SeaAllison Adams, Cheng Cheng, Ben Ong and Yip YeLittle is known about marine biodiversity. While microbes compose a hugeportion of the organisms in the marine environment, they remain a mystery interms of behavior, abundance, and diversity. This study focuses on the diversityand distribution of Vibrio species. Many known and unknown species of thesebacteria exist in the ocean, and some, such as Vibrio cholerae, are known to bepathogenic. Vibrio live not only in seawater, but also on other floating biotic andabiotic substrates. In order to better understand the qualities of these bacteria,we took samples of plastic, seawater, and Sargassum spp. from different stationsacross the latitudinal gradient of the Sargasso Sea. Samples were analyzed formorphotype diversity. After isolation, DNA from specific samples were extractedand sequenced. We hypothesized that differences in morphotype diversity wouldoccur among the three mediums. Morphological and genetic differences of thebacteria colonies were found in the bacteria from the different substrates andfrom the seawater at different locations along the latitudinal gradient. Althoughthe data collected indicate some morphotypes of Vibrio are substrate specific,further research is needed to fully assess the implications of this study.Hydroid Diversity in the Sargasso Sea, Using Morphological and MolecularMethodsEmily Allen, Grace Hutton and Elissa WalterThe Northern Atlantic Ocean is characterized by floating clumps of Sargassumspp., a holopelagic brown macro-algae. Hydroids on Sargassum natans andSargassum fluitans were studied in samples collected between St. Croix, UnitedStates Virgin Islands (USVI) and Woods Hole, Massachusetts, United States ofAmerica (USA) during May and June 2012. Sargassum was collected twice dailyin a neuston net tow. Five leaves of each S. natans and S. fluitans, if present,were removed from the Sargassum collected in each tow. This study examinedthe hydroids present on 125 S. fluitans leaves and 100 S. natans leaves. A totalof seven hydroid species were observed in these samples, one exclusive to S.natans and four exclusive to S. fluitans. Aglaophenia latecarinata comprised65.47% of all hydroids collected from S. fluitans leaves, and Clytia noliformiscomprised 60.46% of hydroids collected from S. natans leaves. The S. fluitanshydroid community was more diverse than the S. natans hydroid community, withstatistical significance at 95% confidence. Two species, A. latecarinata, andPlumularia margaretta, were present at all latitudes. C. noliformis, Plumulariasetaceoides, Dynamena quadridentata, Sertularia meyeri, and Clytia johnstoniwere only observed in particular latitudinal regions. The relative abundance of A.latecarinata decreased with higher latitudes. Higher relative abundances of P.margaretta were observed in samples that were collected farther north. Linear20
