Description

Qualitative and quantitative composition of the zooplankton community for 73 "Mechele" stations in the Southern Bight of the North Sea between January 1971 and December 1974.The data are digitized from technical reports in the frame of the 4DEMON project.

Additional info

Study on the diversity and nature of the North Sea zooplankton community. Samples (bucket or pump) were taken at 73 stations at surface and at different depths between 23th of January 1971 and 04th of December 1974. The density of different zooplankton taxa is given as the amount of individuals per unit volume of the water. Additionally reproduction is mentioned next to the taxon density. Biomass (fresh weight) is calculated for most abundant zooplankton taxa and for each unique eventID total zooplankton dry weight and organic matter is noted. For cruises SEA1971/VUB2-3-4 and SEA1972/VUB1-2 densities and reproduction values of individual copepoda species are given.
