Stressor 2019: Zooplankton abundance, biovolume and size structure in the northern Norwegian Sea ...
Data on zooplankton abundance and biovolume are presented, in concert with data on the biophysical environment, from 17 transects (ca. 50-100 km long) crossing the shelf break off the Lofoten-Vesterålen islands during a research cruise with R/V Helmer Hanssen 27 April to 12 May 2019. The data were c...

| Summary: | Data on zooplankton abundance and biovolume are presented, in concert with data on the biophysical environment, from 17 transects (ca. 50-100 km long) crossing the shelf break off the Lofoten-Vesterålen islands during a research cruise with R/V Helmer Hanssen 27 April to 12 May 2019. The data were collected along vertical profiles from surface to 500-600 m depth by a free-fall Moving Vessel Profiler (MVP) equipped with Laser Optical Plankton Counter, (LOPC), Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) sensor and Fluorescence sensor (F). Position data were provided by the ships' GPS. Based on the analysis and calibration of these instruments, we created a data set with high spatial resolution, containing position (latitude, longitude, depth), environment (temperature, salinity, chlorophyll a), as well as zooplankton abundance and biovolume tabulated in 49 size classes (0.1-3 mm). A detailed description is provided in the README file. ... |
