Estimation of Micro-zooplankton (MZ) Abundance and Biomass, Summer 2008 (B55)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/245.B55-001

Summary
Micro-zooplankton (MZ) are responsible for most of the grazing on
phytoplankton in the sea and are an important link in the food chain between
phytoplankton and zooplankton, which are food for zooplanktivorous fish which
support top predators. This dataset provides summer data on standing stocks of
MZ and their grazing activities. A key goal was to determine how the MZ link
in Bering Sea food webs is influenced by climate-induced changes in physical
forcing.
