Plankton and particles imagery (IFCB, UVP)
The guidelines presented below will assist the user in submitting imaging-in-flow or submersible microscopic data to SeaBASS. New metadata headers and field names have been developed for plankton and other particle data. Additionally, detailed instructions are given for the submission of documentation (protocol document, checklist, etc.), images, and additional ancillary files. The submitter must indicate in the checklist whether all ROIs in a sample were annotated. Greater detail regarding the development and application of these guidelines and requirements can be found in Neeley et al., 2021.
