Citation

Cunha M E, Quintela M D F (2021). Fish larvae from May to June '95 of the "Capricórnio" campaign in the Republic of Guinea Bissau. Version 1.35. IPMA - Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera. Sampling event dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/xcfy7s accessed via GBIF.org on 2022-05-19.

Description

This report presents the results of the fifth research cruise in the waters off Guiné-Bissau coast from 7 May to 5 July 1995, on board of the Portuguese RV “Capricórnio”. 33 plankton surveys using a FAO net were carried on.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

A network of 33 oceanographic stations, spread around 10 radials, in the territorial waters of Guinea-Bissau was used for the collection of biological parameters from 29 May to 16 June 1995.

Sampling

The trawls were carried out at a steady speed of 3 knots and the samples stored in 4 percent formalin, previously neutralised with sodium bicarbonate.

Method steps

  1. The plankton samples were collected in oblique trawls up to a maximum depth of 200 m using the FAO net. The Smith and Richardson (1977) expressions were used to calculate the volume.
