Abundance of mesozooplankton in the north-eastern Black Sea during SESRU02 cruise in September 2008

The SESRU_02_mesozooplankton dataset contains data collected in September 2008 at 15 stations located between 37°E and 39.5°E and between 42.4°N and 44.5°N in the north-eastern Black Sea. Samples were collected with a Juday net. Juday net: Vertical tows of a closing Juday net, with mouth area 0.1 m**2, mesh size 180 µm. Samples were taken from different layers. Towing speed: 1m/s. Samples were preserved by a 4% formaldehyde sea water buffered solution. Sampling volume was estimated by multiplying the mouth area with the wire length.
