This study was performed in the scope of a master thesis for the International Master of Science in Marine Biological Resources (IMBRSea) conducted at Ugent in collaboration with VLIZ. Input data are zooplankton and phytoplankton abundances, nutrients, Sea Surface Temperature (SST), photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) from the LifeWatch data and infrastructure, funded by Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO). Water temperature data for one of the locations was obtained from Flemish Banks Monitoring Network at https://meetnetvlaamsebanken.be/.
