Cite Dataset

These data represent a merging of electronic data collected from the MOCNESS sensor systems and the count data from the samples collected with the net tows. Some nets were used for zooplankton samples, while others were collected specifically to estimate bay anchovy concentrations. (See associated dataset: http://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/563428.) These are contained on different sheets, and the count data was merged individually.
