Seasonal flow cytometry counts of picoplankton from the west coast of South Africa (May 2015 to February 2017)

Little is known about the distribution and abundance of picoplankton in coastal waters off southern Africa. This data set is part of a PhD study in which picoplankton were sampled from two depths at four sampling lines along the west coast of South Africa in May, September and November 2015, February, May, August and November 2016, and February 2017. Cell counts were made using a BD Accuri C6 flow cytometer and a BD LSRII flow cytometer. The data set contains cell counts for Synechococcus, Prochlorococcus and Picoeukaryotes.

关于南部非洲沿海水域中微型浮游生物的分布与丰度，目前所知甚少。本数据集系一项博士研究项目的一部分，该项目于2015年5月、9月、11月以及2016年2月、5月、8月、11月和2017年2月，在南非西海岸的四条采样线上，对两个深度层的微型浮游生物进行了采样。细胞计数采用BD Accuri C6流式细胞仪和BD LSRII流式细胞仪进行。数据集包含了蓝藻门（Synechococcus）、绿藻门（Prochlorococcus）以及微型真核生物的细胞计数数据。
