Abundace data for taxon determined by Video Plankton Recorder (VPR) on RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer cruises NBP0103, NBP0104, NBP0202 in the Southern Ocean from 2001-2002 (SOGLOBEC project)

<p>This dataset includes ALL the abundance values, zero and non-zero. Taxonomic groups are diplayed in the 'taxon' column, rather than in separate columns, with abundances in the 'abund_L' column. For the original presentation of the data, see <a href=\"http://ospre...
