 PI:             John Hedges (Hedges/Lee/Wakeham)    
 dataset:        Carbohydrate percentages from composite plankton tow collections
 project/cruise: EQPAC/TT007
 ship:           Thomas Thompson

 Note:        The plankton net tows were oblique tows from 0-100m. In most cases
        the samples analyzed are composites of two or more tows. As a result,
        no event numbers are reported.
