The data were collected to describe the plankton populations of the North Pacific and to monitor their distribution and abundance over multiple years. The data include abundances of phytoplankton and zooplankton taxa retained by the Continuous Plankton Recorder which collected plankton samples as it was towed behind a merchant ship on a great circle transect from Vancouver, Canada to Japan. Several transects were occupied during 1997, and 2000-2009. 2009 data are also from a transect from Juan de Fuca Strait to Cook Inlet. The samples each represent 18.5km of tow and have been processed according to routine CPR protocols as directed by the Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science (SAHFOS) which operates and maintains the CPR survey. The midpoint of each sample is allocated a position and time based on information on deployment and recovery times from the ship's log. 1997 and 2000 - 2007 data were provided from archives of the Exxon Valdex Oil Spill Trustee Council. 2008 - 2009 data were provided by the North Pacific Research Board. 2012 data was provided by the PI Sonia Batten.
