Zooplankton egg counts from METEOR cruise M87/1 in April 2012

Zooplankton samples were taken in five depth strata using a Multinet type Midi, with 50 µm nets. The samples were taken during the second leg only, three times at station 1, two times at station 2 and once at station 3. Zooplankton were identified to species / genus and life-stage, and at least 300 individuals were counted per sample. 10 individuals of each stage / species were measured and the numbers of eggs counted.

研究采用Midi型分层浮游生物采样网（Multinet type Midi）配以孔径50 μm的网具，于五个深度分层中采集浮游动物（Zooplankton）样本。所有采样仅在航次第二航段完成：1号站位采样3次，2号站位采样2次，3号站位采样1次。对采集所得浮游动物开展物种/属级分类与生活史阶段鉴定，每份样本至少计数300个个体。针对每一生活史阶段/物种的10个个体进行形态测量，并统计其卵的数量。
