Description

The Observatoire of Villefranche sur Mer supports the daily sampling of zooplankton since 1966 at a time series station located at the entrancy of the Bay of Villefranche sur Mer. Samples were collected by a horizontal tow at 5 layers, using a Regent net. The sampling site is located at the mouth of the Bay over a bathymetry of 80m and is thus open to the Ligurian Sea. Zooplankton abundance was counted by specialist at OOV under microscopes.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

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

Sampling

Samples were collected by a vertical tow from bottom to surface (75-0 m), using a Regent net

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 at OOV under microscopes.

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.
