Abstract:
This report contains tabulations of abundance of zooplankton other than Copepoda collected from Fletcher's Ice Island (T-3) on a drift track in the Canadian Basin of the Arctic Ocean during 1966 and 1967. Samples were taken, using a plankton-pumping system, at 5-m depth intervals from 5 to 185 m, and with two sizes of closing plankton nets at intervals between 0 and 2000m. The organisms were
... identified and enumerated as 44 categories of species and larger taxonomic groups. Data for each sample include the sampling gear used, the date, time, and depth of sampling; the number of categories in the sample; and the volume of water filtered; these data were collected to begin a description of the vertical and seasonal distributions of zooplankton as part of a long-term study of primary productivity and energy flow in the Arctic Ocean. The Copepods associated with these samples can be found in Scott, D.A. and T.Saunders English Copepoda collected from Fletcher’s Ice Island (T-3) in the Canadian Basin of the Arctic Ocean in 1966 and 1967. University of Washington, Technical report No 240 and in a second dataset served by ArcOD.
