OBIS Canada Open in mapper Explore occurrences

This resource contains zooplankton datasets collected by Dr. D. D. Sameoto using a number of sampling devices including the BIONESS sampler, ring nets and an Icelandic high speed sampler. Sampling took place as part of multidisciplinary oceanographic cruises that took place between 1967 and 2006. Sampling concentrated on the Scotian Shelf but there were cruises to the Arctic and the mid Atlantic.
