The dataset provides records of the composition and density of phytoplankton, copepods and marine cladocerans assemblage from Mochima Bay (Venezuela) during 2 days of sampling on March 2016. The six stations were located on a longitudinal transect from the inner bay to the outer marine-influenced area. In addition, measurements of water salinity and temperature were obtained.Sampling Description
Study Extent
Samples were obtained during March 15 and 16, 2016.Sampling
The samples come from 6 stations located in a transect from the interior of the bay to the area with marine influence. Sampling was carried out using a plankton net (mesh size of 285 microns). Zooplankton samples were obtained by vertical trawls from the maximum depth to the surface. Phytoplankton samples were obtained using a Van Dorn bottle, integrating the sampling point of 3 - 6 - 9 meters.Method steps
- Six stations along a longitudinal transect
- Vertical samples of phytoplankton and zooplankton
- Composition and density of phytoplankton, copepods and marine cladocerans.
