Abstract

Pyrosome gut pigment contents from samples collected off the Oregon Coast on two cruises aboard NOAA Ship Bell M. Shimada during 2018.

Pyrosomes (Pyrosoma atlanticum) were picked out of zooplankton catches, counted and measured for total colony length (mm) and then frozen at -80˚C for subsequent analysis of gut pigment content following the gut fluorescence technique. Details of sampling and analytical procedures can be found in O’Loughlin et al. (2020).
