Abundance of macrozooplankton in the north-eastern Black Sea during SESRU01 cruise in April 2008

The SESRU01 macrozooplankton dataset contains data collected in April 2008 at 19 stations located between 37°E and 39.5°E and between 42.4°N and 44.5°N in the north-eastern Black Sea. Samples were collected with a Ring net. Vertical tows of a Ring net, with mouth area 0.5 m**2, mesh size 400µm. Sample was taken from the layer 0-40 m. Towing speed: 0.8m/s. Samples were analyzed on board without preservation. Sampling volume was estimated by multiplying the mouth area with the wire length. Macrozooplankton species were identified and enumerated.
