Macrozooplankton concentrations estimated from MOCNESS tow samples, Continental Margin Western Antarctic Peninsula, GLOBEC - zoo_moc_SO
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
Macrozooplankton abundance and biomass are derived from MOCNESS-1 plankton tow samples collected from cruises to the Antarctic, 2001 and 2002.
Description
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.
