Description

The Observatoire of Villefranche sur Mer supports the regular observation of large zooplankton from 1898-1917 and daily sampling using different nets since 1966 and onwards at a time series station located at the entrancy of the Bay of Villefranche sur Mer.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

The sampling site is located at the mouth of the Bay over a bathymetry of 80m and is thus open to the Ligurian Sea.

Sampling

NONE

Quality Control

Data were entered manually to an Excel template. After entry into the Excel template data were transferred to DwC format. The list of species after applying taxonomic quality control, contains the presently valid names according to the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) and the AphiaID is matched against every single species name. Spatial quality control was also performed and the coordinates are provided.

Method steps

Zooplankton abundance was counted by specialist from the ship deck.

Additional info

marine, harvested by iOBIS. The OOV supported the financial effort of the survey. We are grateful to the crew of the research boat at OOV that collected plankton during the temporal survey.
