            ## Methods

### Study area

This dataset includes the results of sampling at six stations along a transect in the western Barents Sea. Some stations were trawled twice at different depths . 

### Time coverage

The samples were collected between 09 January 2024 and 11 January 2024.

### Sampling

Nine macrozooplankton samples were collected with a Tucker trawl (1 m2 opening and 1000 μm mesh size). Tows were on average 10 minutes at the target depth and at ca. 2 knots. The targeted depth at each station was determined from the sound scattering layer identified in the echogram from the vessel's echosounder.

### Sample analysis

Tucker trawl samples were analyzed per station, and taxa were enumerated and dried at 60 C° for at least 48 hours, in pre-weighted recipients for dry weight measurements post cruise. The obtained abundances were standardized and converted to catch per unit effort, expressed in milligrams per cubic meter.
