Zooplankton data of the Canary Islands

The collection contains information on zooplankton collected from the surface down to 1000m at stations situated at all the islands. Presently available are samples from Tenerife and Hierro, although in the current and following years we hope to use different kinds of nets at the rest of the islands. The net used was WP-2. Also data on the qualitative composition of the different bathymetric strata were obtained, and at the same time nictimeral migrations were analyzed while fishing by day and by night.

本数据集收录了从岛屿表面至1000米深度各站点采集的浮游动物信息。目前，数据涵盖了特内里费岛和耶罗岛样本，尽管在当前及未来年份，我们期望在其余岛屿使用不同类型的网具进行采集。所使用的网具型号为WP-2。此外，还获取了不同水层深度（bathymetric strata）的定性组成数据，并同步分析了在白天和夜间捕鱼过程中进行的生物发光（nictimeral）迁徙活动。
