| Summary: | ## Methods ### Study area This dataset is the result of a sampling program in Isfjorden on the west coast of Spitsbergen, Svalbard. ### Time coverage The sampling was conducted in 2016 and 2017, with one sampling per season; summer and autumn in 2016 and winter and spring in 2017. ### Sampling 50 sea water samples were collected at two stations named "n1" and "s2". On each sampling date three sampling protocols were used: - a fine net deployed horizontally by a diver (100 µm mesh) - a specialized water pump (hoover/vacuum, 100 µm) deployed at a certain depth - vertical plankton net tows (WP2-net, 65 µm). Both the diver's net and vacuum pump sampled from 6 and 12 meters depth at each station, while the WP2-net sampled from 50 to 0 meters and from 12 to 0 meters depth. For station "s2", the sampling at 6 meters with a diver's net and vacuum pump was carried out in the autumn of 2017 and not together with the other sampling that occurred in the autumn of 2016. ## Taxonomy The dataset was analysed using image ... |
