Zooplankton and phytoplankton densities in the oyster farms of Gazi Creek (Kenya) sampled in October 1992
Description in English
Study of the food availability of the mangrove oyster, Saccostrea cucullata, in a mangrove creek in Gazi in the form of zooplankton, phytoplankton and determination of particulate carbon, dryweight and chlorophyll a,b in the waters between the shelves of the oyster farms.
Abstract in English
Densities of phytoplankton and zooplankton sampled 2 days (06 and 12 October 1992) in the oyster farms at Gazi Creek (Kenya). The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Bollen, A. (1993). Saccostrea cucullata (von Born, 1778): voedselaanwezigheid in een mangrovekreek (Gazi, Kenya) = Saccostrea cucullata (von Born, 1778): food availability in a mangrove creek (Gazi, Kenya).
