CSIRO, Tropical Zooplankton Biomass and Composition, Albatross Bay - Gulf of Carpentaria, North Australia 1986-1988

The biomass and species composition of tropical zooplankton in Albatross Bay, Gulf of Carpentaria, northern Australia, were examined monthly for three years between March 1986 and March 1988. Zooplankton taxonomic groups were identified to species level where possible, with a primary focus on copepods. Data is stored as mean number of individuals per site. Sampling occurred across 5 sites (Site 1 = Inshore, Site 5 = Offshore, Sites progressed westward). Temperature and salinity were also recorded for many samples.

1986年3月至1988年3月的三年间，研究人员每月对澳大利亚北部卡奔塔利亚湾（Gulf of Carpentaria）阿尔巴特罗斯湾（Albatross Bay）的热带浮游动物（Zooplankton）生物量与物种组成开展了监测调查。研究人员尽可能将浮游动物的分类类群鉴定至物种水平，研究核心聚焦于桡足类（Copepods）。所有数据以各采样点的平均个体数形式存储。本次采样共覆盖5个采样点（采样点1为近岸海域，采样点5为远岸海域，采样点沿西向依次排布）。多数采样样本同步记录了水温与盐度数据。
