ZOOPLANKTON SPECIES IDENTITIES and Other Data from THOMAS G. THOMPSON From TOGA Area - Pacific (30 N to 30 S) from 19920203 to 19921021 (NODC Accession 9700062)

Abundance, biovolume, and biomass of (Cyanobacteria, phototrophic, heterotrophic eucaryotic pico and nanoplanktons) were collected from the THOMAS G. THOMPSON from February 3, 1992 to October 21, 1992. Biomass is calculated using a constant carbon density factor of 220 femtograms C per um^3 of biovolume, and is expressed in units of micrograms of carbon per liter, while biovolume is defined as average cell size. Data were submitted by Dr. Michael E. Sieracki of Virgina Institute of Marine Science - Gloucester Point with support from the University of Maryland; Horn Point Environmental Laboratory. These data were collected using CTD casts in the Pacific Ocean.
