Phytoplankton sampling in the coastal waters of south eastern Tasmania, Australia (2009-2015)

Phytoplankton was counted and identified from five sites over the 5-year period. Annual cycles in abundance are available (as cells mL-1), along with detailed species identification. Cell measurements and approximate geometric shape were also recorded for the calculation of biovolume (μL cell-1). Diatoms and dinoflagellates dominated the samples in terms of biomass, however, small cells were also very abundant throughout each year. The data are restricted to an integrated sample from the top 12 m of the water column. Fluorescence profiles elsewhere in this dataset can provide an indication of phytoplankton presence lower in the water column.

在为期五年的研究期间，对五个地点的浮游植物进行了计数和鉴定。提供了丰度年度周期数据（以每毫升细胞数计），并附有详细的物种鉴定信息。此外，还记录了细胞尺寸及大致几何形状，以便计算生物体积（每细胞微升数）。在生物量方面，硅藻和甲藻在样本中占据主导地位，然而，小细胞在每年的样本中也非常丰富。数据仅限于水柱顶部12米的综合样本。本数据集中其他部位的荧光谱图可提供水柱底部浮游植物存在情况的指示。
