Mesozooplankton Abundance and Biomass. Version 1.0

This data set contains mesozooplankton biomass and abundance from net tows conducted during the SHEBA drift experiment. Two data sets are archived. The first, SHEBA_ALLTAXA.xls, presents total displacement volume biomass as both dry weight (mg dw m-3) and carbon (mg C m-3) and abundances of all taxa, including copepodite stages for the copepods, as # m-3. The second data set, SHEBA_NapuliarCounts.xls, presents the stage specific naupliar abundances for the dominant copepod taxa as integrated abundance (# m-2) in each depth interval.
