ATTAClli~lEivT II The following aquatic samples (non-radiological) were missed or destroyed due to circumstances other than inclement >>cather:

1. Ichthyoplankton - August 8-9, 1977 15 Samples Cause: Sample tows (5 minutes) during heavy zooplankton bloom resulted in greatly increased sample densities.

The preservative (as per procedure) was not sufficient and the samples "soured" in transit to laboratory.

Corrective Action:

Revised procedure to allow for shorter tow times as conditions dictate.
