Zooplankton biomass and abundance in Estonian territorial waters 1993-2016 Citation Estonian Marine Institute, University of Tartu (2019): Zooplankton biomass and abundance in Estonian territorial waters 1994-2016. https://marineinfo.org/doc/dataset/6022 Contact: Põder, Asko Availability: ![]() Description Zooplankton dataset contains data on the species composition, biomass and abundance of meso- and merozooplankton groups. The data are gathered during the Estonian national monitoring of coastal and open seain the Baltic Sea. Samples are collected vertically from three horizons 1) near-bottom to upper halocline layer, 2) halocline top layer to termocline top layer 3) termocline top layer to surface in accordance with the Manual for Marine Monitoring in the COMBINE programme of HELCOM. The samples are analysed using microscopy. Biomass and abundance records are provided for such groups like Rotatoria, Copepoda, Cladocera etc. Lineage Prior to publication data undergo quality control checked which are described in https://github.com/EMODnet/EMODnetBiocheck?tab=readme-ov-file#understanding-the-output Scope Themes: Biology > Plankton > Zooplankton Keywords: Marine/Coastal, Abundance index, Bio-geographical regions, Biota, Environment, Geoscientific Information, Habitats and biotopes, Mesozooplankton, Metadata non conformant, Metadata not evaluated, No limitations to public access, Oceans, Sea regions, WGS84 (EPSG:4326), XYZ ASCII, Zooplankton biomass, ANE, Baltic, Baltic Proper, ANE, Baltic, Finland Gulf, ANE, Baltic, Riga Gulf, ANE, Baltic, Vainameri Archipelago, Hiiurnaa, ANE, Estonia, EurOBIS calculated BBOX, Annelida, Diplostraca, Copelata, Copepoda, Crustacea, Diptera, Mollusca, Nemertea, Rotifera Geographical coverage ANE, Baltic, Baltic Proper [Marine Regions] ANE, Baltic, Finland Gulf [Marine Regions] ANE, Baltic, Riga Gulf [Marine Regions] ANE, Baltic, Vainameri Archipelago, Hiiurnaa [Marine Regions] ANE, Estonia [Marine Regions] EurOBIS calculated BBOX Stations Bounding Box Coordinates: MinLong: 20,5333; MinLat: 57,6167 - MaxLong: 27,9764; MaxLat: 59,9167 [WGS84] Taxonomic coverage Parameters Contributors Related datasets Published in: EurOBIS: European Ocean Biodiversity Information System, more URLs Dataset information: Other: Dataset status: Completed Data type: Data Data origin: Monitoring: field survey Release date: 2019-04-01 Metadatarecord created: 2018-07-30 Information last updated: 2025-03-26 |
