Summary

Abstract: These data represent quantitative taxonomic analyses of zooplankton samples collected while on board the USCGC Polar Sea, operating in the Northeast Water Polynya Project in July and August of 1992 and 1993. Zooplankton samples were collected for displacement volume measurements and taxonomic enumeration with a Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System (MOCNESS) and a Bongo net frame.
