Summary
Abstract: Zooplankton populations were monitored on a monthly basis (Jan-Jun), years
1995-1999, for a total of thirty cruises. Plankton tows were made using a
MOCNESS 10 system with 5-6 (10 m^2) nets having 3.00-mm circular mesh. Nets
are opened and closed sequentially by commands through conducting cable from
the surface. Organisms are identified at the species level. Abundance is
calculated. In a companion file, length data are reported at the species level
(see related URLs). Environmental data (CTD sensor package appended to the
MOCNESS) are reported in an ancillary object/file (see related URLs).
