Nella Dan: ADBEX I Cruise - Zooplankton data

This dataset contains results from the Antarctic Division Biomass Experiment (ADBEX I) cruise of the Nella Dan. This cruise is the second in a series of six cruises, and follows the First International BIOMASS Experiment (FIBEX) in early 1981, documentation of which can be found in ANARE Research Notes 7, or by searching the metadata records for FIBEX. ADBEX I operated between November and December 1982, and studied the distribution and abundance of krill (Euphausia superba). Surveys of krill and other zooplankton were taken off Antarctica in the Australian sector (Mawson to Davis region) and Prydz Bay. The major species investigated were Euphausia superba, Euphausia frigidia, Euphausia crystallorophias and Thysanoessa marcuria. Other pteropods and cephalopods were also studied. Physical and chemical oceanography data were also obtained at some stations, as well as phytoplankton samples. Summary results are listed in the documentation.

本数据集收录了“内拉丹号”（Nella Dan）执行的澳大利亚南极局生物量实验I航次（Antarctic Division Biomass Experiment, ADBEX I）的调查成果。该航次为系列6次航次中的第二航次，其前身为1981年初开展的首次国际生物量实验（First International BIOMASS Experiment, FIBEX），该实验的相关文档可查阅《澳大利亚国家南极研究探险队（Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions, ANARE）研究通讯》第7期，或通过检索FIBEX元数据记录获取。ADBEX I航次执行于1982年11月至12月期间，主要研究南极磷虾（*Euphausia superba*）的分布与种群丰度。本次调查针对南极澳大利亚管辖海域（莫森站至戴维斯站海域）及普里兹湾周边的磷虾与其他浮游动物展开，所涉及的主要研究物种包括南极磷虾（*Euphausia superba*）、冷磷虾（*Euphausia frigidia*）、晶磷虾（*Euphausia crystallorophias*）以及马库雷莹虾（*Thysanoessa marcuria*）。研究团队同时对其他翼足类与头足类动物开展了调查。部分站位还同步采集了物理海洋学与化学海洋学数据，以及浮游植物样本。相关文档中列有本次调查的总结性成果。
