PSEA-10-01 Zooplankton abundance
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/102.275

Summary
This dataset contains zooplankton abundance measurements for selected stations
during U.S Coast Guard Cutter Polar Sea cruise PSEA1001. Samples were
collected with a 0.5 m diameter, 64 micro-m mesh ring net towed vertically
from just above the bottom to the surface. These were preserved in buffered
formalin and counted. All large copepods and chaetognaths in each sample were
identified and enumerated. Smaller zooplankton were subsampled with a Stemple
pipet and identified and enumerated. Data are presented as number of organisms
per square meter of water column. Because of ice, no current meter was used.
Volume filtered was calculated from the net mouth open area and the depth over
which the net was hauled. There was no clogging because of the very low
phytoplankton abundance (Chl a less than 0.6 mg/m3). Data were collected
during the Bering Sea Ecosystem Study-Bering Sea Integrated Ecosystem Research
Program (BEST-BSIERP). BEST-BSIERP together are the Bering Sea project.
