Description
## Methods ### Study area This dataset is the result from sampling at 6 stations across the Polar Front in the western part of the Barents Sea. ### Time coverage The samples were collected between 19 May 2022 and 25 May 2022. ### Sampling 11 macrozooplankton samples were collected with a Tucker trawl (1 m2 opening and 1500 μm mesh size) and towed for 10 minutes 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 Relative abundance from the Tucker trawl samples were analyzed per station, and taxa were counted and dried at 60 C° in pre-weighted recipients for dry weight measurements. The obtained abundances were standardized and converted to catch per unit effort, expressed in milligrams per cubic meter.
Data Records
The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 11 records.
1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.
