Zooplankton Sampled with 10m2MOCNESS Net in Georges Bank 1995-1999

Environmental data (CTD sensor package appended to the MOCNESS) are reported in an ancillary object/file (see related URLs). IMPORTANT INFORMATION 1. The catch from each net was sub-sampled and all animals in the sub-sample were counted. 2.

Due to the shear volume of data, only those animals found were represented in these on-line data, i.e. no animals with zero abundance were listed. 3. The precision variation in the latitude and longitude numbers is as reported. 4. Not all nets for all tows are represented here.

Some nets came back empty. 5.
