Macrozooplankton concentrations estimated from MOCNESS tow samples, Continental Margin Western Antarctic Peninsula, GLOBEC [Macrozoöplankton concentraties geschat van MOCNESS sleepmonsters, Continentale rand van het West-Antarctisch Schiereiland, GLOBEC] Citation Macrozooplankton concentrations estimated from MOCNESS tow samples, Continental Margin Western Antarctic Peninsula, GLOBEC https://doi.org/10.15468/85zjnp Contact: Danis, Bruno Availability:  This dataset is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.Description Macrozooplankton abundance and biomass are derived from MOCNESS-1 plankton tow samples collected from cruises to the Antarctic, 2001 and 2002. more The general survey area includes: the continental margin to the west of the Antarctic Peninsula extending from the northern tip of Adelaide Island to the southern portion of Alexander Island and east into Marguerite Bay. The MOCNESS-1 unit has a net mouth opening of one square meter at a 45 degree tow angle, net size of 335 microns, and the ability to sample at nine different depth intervals over the duration of the tow. Biomass (wet weight) and abundance were determined for each depth interval sampled principally by the technique of silhouette digitization (Little. W.S., Copley, N.J. 2003. WHOI Silhouette Digitizer version 1.0 User's Guide. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Technical Report #2003-05, 63 pp). Samples were screened for 32 specific categories of zooplankton organisms or groups. Note: As of this posting (May 2004), only data for 2001 are reported. Ships/cruises/dates: RVIB Nathaniel B.
