Phytoplankton data collected on a scientific cruise in the biology course AB-202 by The University Centre in Svalbard. The data is collected from different fjords on the west coast of Spitsbergen and by the marginal ice zone in the period 26.04.2023-01.05.2023.Sampling Description
Study Extent
Samples were acquired once at every sampling station, one station per fjord (see Geographic Coverage), one station per day (see Temporal coverage).Sampling
CTD rig (clorophyll-a maximum estimate), phytoplankton net (plankton sampling)Method steps
- A rig that combined CTD instruments and Niskin bottle water samplers was lowered into the water. A CTD-profile of the water column was acquired at each sampling site, from which the chlorophyll-a maximum depth was inferred. A phytoplankton net with 20mm mesh size was lowered into the water to the depth just below the inferred chlorophyll-a maximum. Plankton was collected from that depth up to the surface. The sample was sub-sampled and analyzed under a microscope, and species’ abundance was estimated.
