Zooplankton abundance and biomass observations obtained from the QuadNet, as analyzed by traditional microscopy, during NGA LTER seasonal cruises in the Northern Gulf of Alaska, 2018-2021

This dataset presents the distribution, abundance and biomass of zooplankton obtained from a QuadNet, using traditional microscopy, during the seasonal NGA-LTER research cruises conducted in the Gulf of Alaska in 2018-2021 Data are presented as csvs files, with one file for each research cruise. These data are part of the Northern Gulf of Alaska Long Term Ecological Research (NGA LTER) program. The LTER program is a National Science Foundation–funded network of 28 sites nationwide that focus on the influence of long-term and large-scale phenomenon on ecosystems. Additional funding for sampling is provided by the North Pacific Research Board (NPRB), the Alaska Ocean Observing System (AOOS), and the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council (EVOS) via the Gulf Watch Alaska program.
