Macrozooplankton biomass in the northern Barents Sea from seasonal surveys

This dataset gives wet-weights (g) per taxon, as caught with a MIK net (2 m diameter) during four seasonal surveys within the Nansen Legacy project in 2019 and 2021. On each survey, samples were collected at seven stations by hauling a MIK net vertically (though obliquely at 3 stations in Aug 2019) from 10-20 meters above the bottom to the surface. Details on the sampling are given in the submitted paper by Van Engeland et al. (2023). Estimated sampling volumes are provided to enable calculation of concentrations.
