Gelatinous macrozooplankton abundance and biomass in Sevastopol Bay and inshore waters off the Crimean Coasts of the Black Sea Citation Finenko, G.; Abolmasova, G.; Datsyk, N.; Anninsky, B.; Romanova, Z. (2012). Gelatinous macrozooplankton abundance and biomass in Sevastopol Bay and inshore waters off the Crimean Coasts of the Black Sea. Institute of Biology of the Southern Seas NASU. https://marineinfo.org/id/dataset/2968 Contact: Finenko, Galyna Availability:  This dataset is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.Description The dataset contains the monitoring data on abundance and biomass of four gelatinous zooplankton species (Mnemiopsis leidyi, Beroe ovata, Aurelia aurita, Pleurobrachia pileus) from January 2000 to December 2011 in Sevastopol Bay and inshore waters off the Crimean coast (about 2500 records). Gelatinous zooplankton was collected at 5 stations in Sevastopol Bay and 3 stations in inshore waters near Sevastopol.

Smaller animals were sorted, counted and measured under binoc Biomass: Calculation of jellyfish biomass The protocol discribes how the biomasses of the 4 jellyfish species have been calculated in this dataset.
