EurOBIS MeasurementOrFact Open in mapper Explore occurrences

This dataset contains microzooplankton abundance data from CTD and Ocean Sampler (OS) deployments during the Marine Productivity programme cruise DI258 to the northern North Atlantic in November - December 2001. Samples from the CTD and from all bottles of the OS were collected and preserved in 10% Lugol's iodine for microzooplankton analysis onshore. All species are placed into size categories and into taxonomic groupings. Abundance and biomass data are included.
