Summer Microzooplankton in the Bering Sea
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/245.B55-002

Summary
This dataset contains Micro-zooplankton (MZ) grazing on phytoplankton
estimations during the summer cruise (HLY0803) at 21 stations in the
SouthEastern (SE) Bering Sea. A modified 2-point dilution method (Landry 1993,
Strom et al. 2006, Strom and Fredrickson 2008) was used to estimate
phytoplankton growth, MZ grazing and the fraction of phytoplankton daily
production removed by MZ grazing. Chlorophyll was measured as a proxy for
phytoplankton biomass. Water samples for the determination of MZ abundance,
biomass and composition were collected in association with the dilution
experiments and at additional selected stations and preserved with 10% (final
concentration) acid Lugol's solution in amber glass bottles.
