Seasonality of mesozooplankton abundance and vertical distribution in the Arctic Kongsfjord (Svalbard) , Norway
Entry ID:
ArcOD_2007P2
Summary
Abstract:
Mesozooplankton collections were made during a one-year field period from August 1998 until July 1999 in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard, Norway, to investigate the seasonality of species composition, abundance, stage and vertical distribution. These data provide the first year-round zooplankton observation in Kongsfjorden. Sampling was carried out in the deepest accessible part of the fjord, weather ...
 Purpose: Description of the mesozooplankton species composition, abundance and its seasonal changes in Kongfsjorden in the year 1998/99.

ATTRIBUTE ACCURACY REPORT: Mesh size of 100µm was chosen because the study focus was on smaller sized species, specifically smaller sized copepod crustaceans (Pseudocalanus minutus, Oithona similis). 100 µm mesh size allows to catch most copepodite stages of P. minutus and the older copepodites (CI to CV) of O. similis quantitatively. (Copepodites are the young stages of copepods. They are ...
