Zooplankton grazing experiments using the dilution method have been conducted for 2 months at Davis station and on a weekly basis in order to investigate the relationship between zooplankton grazing rates and DMS production in surface water during the blooming season. Regular water sampling in conjunction with these experiments has been conducted to quantify pigments and phytoplankton populations in the same waters. This work was completed as part of ASAC project 2100 (ASAC_2100). The dataset also includes methods used to obtain the data. The fields in this dataset are: chlorophyll DMS DMSP Pigment Dilution
