Distribution of planktonic foraminifers and shelled pteropods in the northern Barents Sea.

This is the dataset from the publication “Seasonality of marine calcifiers in the northern Barents Sea: Spatiotemporal distribution of planktonic foraminifers and shelled pteropods and their contribution to carbon dynamics” (doi: 10.1016/j.pocean.2023.103121). Planktonic foraminifers and shelled pteropods from the upper 300 me of the water column were collected using a midi zooplankton multinet (64 µm mesh size) on board of the RV Kronprins Haakon in a latitudinal transect along the northern Barents Sea covering shelf, slope and basin in different seasons from 2019 and 2021. After the recovery, the samples were frozen at -20° C.
