UNIS AB 202 2026 - Zooplankton abundance and biomass collection at Ny-Ålesund, 78.9° latitude in early spring

This dataset is a species list of different zooplankton collected during the UNIS field course for AB202. Zooplankton abundance and biomass were sampled and analyzed at Ny-Ålesund. Sampling was conducted using two different zooplankton nets in two sampling locations, KB3 (Kongsfjorden Biology 3) and Station 1. WP2 net with 180 µm mesh size and 0,25m2 opening, and WP3 net with 1 millimeter mesh size and 1m2 opening. KB3 station depth was 350m and Station 1 depth was 50m. For sampling at different water columns, we used both WP2 and WP3 nets. For the WP2 net, we divided the water column into three different sections; 350-100m, 100-50m, 50-0m.
