Regular glider surveys are conducted in the Ligurian Sea (North Western Mediterranean), between Nice and the DYFAMED sampling point. Between February and June 2021, i.e. during the spring bloom, the glider was equipped with an Underwater Vision Profiler: an intelligent camera system that records and process images, yielding images of all objects larger than ~600µm in Equivalent Spherical Diameter. These objects where then taxinomically assigned.\nFor more details on the method see https://doi.org/10.1002/lno.12566. Lineage
