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 vertical tow from bottom to surface (75-0 m), using a WP2 net. Zooplankton abundance was counted by specialist at OOV under microscopes.

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

Samples were collected by a vertical tow from bottom to surface (75-0 m), using a WP2 net: 220µm of mesh, opening: 0.25m². Zooplankton abundance was counted by specialist at OOV under microscopes.

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
