Mesozooplankton abundance and composition were determined in the South Adriatic Sea in the framework of the Italian National Research Project PRISMA1-Flussi Project (1995-1996).Sampling Description
Study Extent
Seasonal cruises were carried out in the South Adriatic.Sampling
Zooplankton are collected by vertical hauls from 50 m to the surface using a WP2 net with 200 µm mesh, 56 cm diameter in stations deeper than 50 m and from 1 m above bottom to the surface in shallow stations.Quality Control
Worms taxon matchMethod steps
- Samples were fixed with Ca(HCO3)2-buffered formaldehyde (2-4% final concentration) for determination of species abundance and composition. Individuals were sorted and counted under binocular microscope.
