Global scale surface meso-plankton dataset collected with Deck Net and imaged with Flowcam during the Tara Pacific Expedition
Abstract in English

The Tara Pacific expedition sampled differents ecosystems of the oceans during a two-year expedition (2016-2018), collecting environmental data and surface plankton of Atlantic and Pacific Ocean, from viruses to metazoans, on board the 36-metre Tara Schooner. Surface microplankton were collected using a custom-built water pumping system called the Dolphin, designed for use while sailing at high speed. The pumped water was filtered through a 20 µm mesh net (Deck-Net) installed on the deck of the schooner Tara.
