TN249 Microzooplankton Biomass and Composition

Project:

BEST

Summary

Microzooplankton abundance, biomass and general community and size composition were determined in whole seawater samples after samples collected at sea were returned to the laboratory. Data from the R/V Thompson TN249 long spring cruise are reported, along with a summary table of total microzooplankton biomass for 2008, 2009 and 2010 Bering Sea Ecosystem Study-Bering Sea Integrated Ecosystem Research Program (BEST-BSIERP) long spring cruises. BEST-BSIERP together are the Bering Sea project. These data are from initial water samples collected for mesozooplankton and dilution grazing assays.

Note: The dataset was updated with additional stations on Aug 25, 2011
