Description

Compilation of euphausiids species for the Greater Antilles (Hispaniola, Cuba, Jamaica and Puerto Rico) based on references from plankton collections in the Western Atlantic and the Caribbean Sea (Owre (Michael) and Foyo, 1972; Michael and Foyo, 1976).

Sampling Description

Study Extent

Between January 1966 and November 1969

Sampling

Net plankton samplings in horizontal and vertical tows at several levels in the water column from the surface.

Method steps

This dataset corresponds to a compilation of occurrences from two literature sources: Owre (Michael) and Foyo (1972) and Michael and Foyo (1976).
The data belongs to plankton samples collected from the EEZs of Haiti, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico, during 8 cruises of the B/I John Elliott Pillsbury where 45 stations were sampled. Hydrographic data were also collected along with plankton samples. Samples were obtained with net plankton in horizontal and vertical tows at several levels in the water column from the surface to a depth near the bottom (7500 m maximum depth).
