Abstract

The data has been collected during the Nansen Legacy Seasonal Study Q1 from 2 - 25 March 2021 on research vessel RV Kronprins Haakon (cruise number 2021703), along a transect in the northern Barents Sea from 76N to 82N. The dataset contains an abundance of ice algae protists, including phytoplankton (autotrophic) and protozooplankton (heterotrophic). Protists were identified and counted with light microscopy using the Utermöhl method and the result are given as cells per liter (cells/L)

Keywords: protist; phytoplankton; protozooplankton; abundance; Northern Barents Sea

Spatial coverage

General spatial coverage: Northern Barents Sea
Coordinates: 76°0'0''N and 82°0'0''N Latitude; 29°0'0''E and 35°0'0''E Longitude 

Temporal coverage: March 2, 2021 - March 25, 2021

Methods

Method step description: All samples have been analysed at Institute of Oceanology of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IOPAN). The organisms were identified and counted under an inverted microscope according to the Utermöhl method.
Study extent description: The sampling covers a transect from the central Barents Sea (76N) to the Arctic Ocean (82N) east of Svalbard, including 7 stations (P1 to P7). 
Sampling description: The samples were collected with Niskin bottles attached to a CTD rosette at the following depths: 5, 10, 30, 60, 90 m and deep chlorophyll max (DCM). The samples were preserved using an aldehyde mixture of glutaraldehyde and hexamethylenetetramine-buffered formalin at final concentrations of 0.1% and 1% respectively.
