OBIS Canada Open in mapper Explore occurrences

This dataset contains species distribution records collected as part of a Cape Breton University BSC Honours thesis project. On each sampling date, triplicate, surface zooplankton tows of approximately 300m length were made parallel to the shores within each of the three sampling areas in Sydney Harbour, Cape Breton: one tow in the centre, and one closer to each shore.
