The spatial and temporal variability of zooplankton during sardine spawning (May) in an area off Porto-Figueira da Foz.Sampling Description
Study Extent
The current study was based on samples conducted aboard the NRP "Almeida Carvalho" during cruise CECIR XIV from the 3rd to the 9th of May 1988 in the coastal area between Porto and Figueira da Foz.Sampling
Zooplankton was sampled in four radials, with three coverings in radial 1 with a two-day interval and just one covering in radials 2, 3, and 4.Quality Control
The samples were preserved in borax-buffered 5% formalin (pH 8.5 - 9). The biovolume of the samples was calculated using the displaced volume method, with the largest organisms (>1cm) removed beforehand. The biomass of zooplankton was measured in m1/m3. The zooplankton were identified and counted using stereomicroscopes in counting chambers (with grid of 50 squares with about 1 cm on a side).Method steps
- The samples were collected using a WP2 plankton net. The trawls were conducted in a vertical direction at a speed of 1 m/s, stratified between the depth levels of 0-20 m, 20-60 m, and 60-150 m, resulting in a total of 99 zooplankton harvests.
