BEST Synthesis: Integration and modeling of spatial-temporal variation in
vital rates for euphausiids in eastern Bering Sea: Implications for
demographics
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/102.286

Summary
This dataset includes all records on euphausiid measured lengths and their
subsequent conversions to wet, dry, carbon and nitrogene weights. Measurements
included in this dataset were derived from zooplankton samples collected with
MOCNESS tows during five Bering Sea Ecosystem Study-Bering Sea Integrated
Ecosystem Research Program (BEST-BSIERP) cruises in 2008-2010. BEST-BSIERP
together are the Bering Sea project. The individual euphausiid total lengths
(in mm) were measured with digitizing board and uploaded into a MS ACCESS
database using customized software. All conversions were done using equations
developed for the Bering Sea euphausiids and published by Harvey et al (2012).
The following abbreviations are used in the database for euphausiid species:
EPA - Euphausia pacifica TRA - Thysanoessa raschii TIN - T. inermis TLO - T.
longipes TSP - T. spinifera ​The following abbreviations are used for cruise
designations: hl802 - USCGC Healy, cruise HLY0802 hl803 - USCGC Healy, cruise
HLY0803 hl902 - USCGC Healy, cruise HLY0902 kn903 - RV Knorr, cruise KN195-10
tn249 - RV Thomas G. Thompson, cruise TN249 These data are available as an MS
Access database and zip files containing each table in the database exported
to a spreadsheet. The spreadsheets are available in MS Excel or Comma
Separated Values (CSV). The database consists of 25 euphausiid data tables for
each cruise and species, with table names being combinations of cruise and
species abbreviations (e.g. kn903_TRA), and 5 header tables comprising
information on sampling (tow) numbers, station names and geographical
positions. The header and data tables are linked with "TowNo" field.
