Zooplankton abundance, vertical and horizontal distribution (MOCNESS system), April-June 2001-02, continental margin west of Antarctic Peninsula, GLOBEC.

Using a Multiple Opening and Closing Nets and Environmental Sensing System
(MOCNESS), zooplankton samples were collected at selected depth intervals in
the water column. Zooplankton samples were screened for a fixed suite of taxa.
Depending on the organism, counts were made of life stage or size class.

Sampling was conducted in April-June 2001 and 2002. The general sampling area
includes: the continental shelf to the west of the Antarctic Peninsula
extending from the northern tip of Adelaide Island to the southern portion of
Alexander Island, and Marguerite Bay.
