Description
The IMR zooplankton database holds Barents Sea data on species composition (abundance), size fractionated biomass as well as biomass for particular zooplankton groups obtained from standard seasonal transects (Fugløya-Bjørnøya and Vardø-Nord) and a regional coverage of the Barents Sea during autumn. Data on species composition are limited.
Lineage
