Copepod data (1986-1988) in Albatross Bay

26 cruises between 1986 and 1988 recorded the biomass and species composition of tropical zooplankton in Albatross Bay, Gulf of Carpentaria, Northern Australia. The initial data analysis was undertaken by Graham J B Ross between 20 November and 15 December 1999, where a significant number of errors, of various types where discovered and correction made. See attached metadata record REPORT.TXT. Zooplankton taxonomic groups were identified to species level where possible (from m6332.xls), with a primary focus on copepods, to produce the ESRI shape layer and m6332_copepods.xls. Data is stored as mean number of individuals per site. Sampling occurred across 5 sites (Site 1 = Inshore, Site 5 = Offshore, Sites progressed westward). Temperature and salinity were also recorded for many samples.

1986年至1988年间的26个航次记录了澳大利亚北部卡奔塔利亚湾信天翁湾热带浮游动物的生物量及物种组成。初步数据分析由Graham J B Ross于1999年11月20日至12月15日开展，期间发现了大量不同类型的错误并进行了修正。详见附件中的元数据记录REPORT.TXT。浮游动物分类群在可能的情况下被鉴定至物种水平（源自m6332.xls），研究重点为桡足类，据此生成了ESRI形状图层及m6332_copepods.xls文件。数据以每个站点的个体平均数形式存储。采样覆盖5个站点（站点1=近岸，站点5=离岸，站点向西分布）。同时记录了多个样本的温度及盐度数据。
