This dataset includes depth-stratified, stage-specific Calanus spp. abundance (C. finmarchicus, C. glacialis and C. hyperboreus copepodites and adults) collected on the Newfoundland and Labrador Shelves (NL), in the Gulf of St. Lawrence (GSL), on the Scotian Shelf (SS), and in the Gulf of Maine (GOM). The data were collected under a variety of programs and compiled to describe northwest-Atlantic-wide patterns of Calanus spp. vertical distribution and assess their environmental drivers. The dataset spans years 2001 and 2006 for NL, 1994-2009 for GSL, 1997-2011 for SS, and 1978, 1995-2007, and 2016 for GOM. Sampling and data processing methods are summarized in Krumhansl et al. (2018). Calanus spp. abundance data are reported for a total of 531 distinct sampling events and a total of 2574 stratified net samples. Zooplankton samples were collected using different gear types, including Multinet, BIONESS and MOCNESS, with several configurations of mouth opening area ranging from 0.25 to 1 m², and with several net ... : Data sources included in this data compilation and published references associated with each data set are provided in Supplementary Table S1 of Krumhansl et al. 2018. The dataset compiles data from the original sources in a common format. Variables that were not included or are not available for a station occupation are represented as blank cells. ...
