This accession contains zooplankton data collected using ship VITYAZ over a six year period from August 9, 1949 to June 13, 1955. Twelve data files containing total haul wet weight and other parameters were submitted to NODC by Jury A. Rudjakov of P.P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology, USSR Academy of Science, Moscow, USSR as part of the Global Ocean Data Archeaology and Rescue Project.

This data type contains data from sampling and analysis of marine zooplankton. Information on Zooplankton abundance, distribution and productivity derived from these data support studies of marine populations and ecosystems. Data reported may include: position, date and time of sampling; bottom depth and sampling depths; volume of water filtered; and concentration of cells, carbon concentration, wet and dry weight, and counts for each species reported.
