Popis

This data type contains data from sampling and analysis of marine zooplankton. Information on zooplankton abundance, distribution and productivity derived from these data support studies of marine populations and ecosystems. Data reported may include: cruise information, position, date and time of sampling, bottom and sampling depths, water temperature and salinity, and total haul data. Data on zooplankton catch by species may include subsample size, zooplankton concentration, life history code and numbers of adults, juveniles, larvae, and eggs. Estimated density of holoplankton and meroplanton and data on ichthyoplankton may also be reported. Specimens are identified by NODC Taxonomic Codes.
