| Summary: | In the project MICROSNOW the ecological role of the small copepod Microsetella norvegica in the sub-Arctic Balsfjorden, Norway, was investigated. Since M. norvegica is often undersampled in net hauls with a standard WP-2 net (180 µm mesh size), this project collected zooplankton water samples with a 30 L GoFlow bottle at distinct depths (0, 10, 20, 50, 90, 120 m). From the collected water, 20 L were concentrated onto a 20 µm mesh sieve, the collected zooplankton was preserved with buffered formaldehyde and later different developmental stages of M. norvegica were enumerated (adult male, adult female, copepodite stage CIV- CV, copepodite stage CI-CIII, nauplius). Under the projectID "Microsnow_2017_2018_Balsfjord" there is also an an additional data set on the zooplankton community composition at the same station (WP-2 net, 64 µm mesh size) available on GBIF. ... |
