Dataset description

SEEDS 2001 Mesozooplankton
Abundance of zooplankters for most stations IN and OUT (all except day 13).
Results are given as individuals per m2 by species and copepodite stage.

Acquisition description

Samples were collected with VMPS (Vertical Multi-layer Plankton Sampler)
with a 50x50cm mouth opening and 100um mesh
Samples were collected between 0-20, 20-50, 50-100 and 100-200m.

Samples were immediately fixed with 10% buffered formalin.
Listed zooplankters were identified counted and sorted out from the sample.
Species and copepodite stage are given

Processing description

BCO-DMO Processing Notes
CSV file generated by Doug Mackie from original spreadsheet Mesozooplankton.xls

Notes from CSV file generated by Doug Mackie:
Species and copepodite stage are given
Wet weight of the sorted samples were measured for copepods and non-copepod organisms

Detailed descriptions of the method are presented by Tsuda et al. (2005) in the special volume of Progress in Oceanography
Tsuda A. Saito H. Nishioka J. & Ono T. (2005): Mesozooplankton responses to iron-fertilization in the western subarctic Pacific (SEEDS2001). Progress In Oceanography 64(2-4) 237-251

Data of D13 were considered to be not quantitative because of rough weather.
0 value is as reported in original file
nd value means no sample or dash reported in original file
