Zooplankton Abundance Compilation
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/255.062

Summary
This dataset is a compilation of four target zooplankton species/genera. Two
types of data are presented: (1) all data with no editing, including sampling
information, concentration (#/m3) by life stage, integrated water column
abundance (#/m2) by life stage, and integrated water column carbon content (ug
C/m2) by life stage and (2) integrated water column carbon for all life stages
combined that were effectively captured by the net mesh size used at each of
the included stations. This dataset is part of the Pacific Marine Arctic
Regional Synthesis (PacMARS) Project. These data are presented both in Excel
and ASCII formats. Supporting information on species (i.e. specific life stage
weights, sizes, and appropriate mesh sizes) have also been included in
separate files.
