Phytoplankton and environmental study in the Southern North Sea between 1974 and 1978 Citable as data publication Smeets J.; Louis A.; Laboratorium voor Hydrobiologie.

The data were digitized from technical reports in the frame of the 4DEMON project. more A total of 2417 water samples were taken at different depths (0-5-10-15m) at 8 zones (4 East and 4 West) in Belgian waters between 02 October 1974 and 19 October 1978. The dataset provides information on abundances and densities (cell counts per liter) of the most abundant phytoplankton species and an overview is given on corresponding abiotic components to describe the dynamic and chemical character of the environment.
