Abundance and biomass of Calanus spp. and near surface and bottom temperature and salinity on western North Atlantic Shelves

We present station-specific depth integrated abundance and biomass of Calanus spp. (stage-specific abundance, CI-CVI, of C. finmarchicus, C. glacialis, C. hyperboreus and combined biomass of late stages, CIV-CVI, of Calanus spp.) collected from zooplankton monitoring programs from 19 subregions spanning the Newfoundland and Labrador Shelves, Gulf of St. Lawrence (GSL), Scotian Shelf, and Gulf of Maine (GoM). These data span years 1999-2016, except the southwest GSL subregion (1982-2016) and GoM (1977-2016). We also present data on near surface and bottom temperature and salinity from subregions in Canadian waters. We then present derived annual anomalies of abundance of the three species of Calanus, their combined biomass, and near surface and bottom temperature and salinity from all subregions. This is a contribution by Canadian and USA scientists and their institutions.
