Abstract

This dataset includes size-binned particle abundance and biovolume of the gut contents of salps imaged via scanning electron microscopy on the "SalpPOOP" cruise on R/V Tangaroa during October and November 2018.

Note: A less condensed dataset containing all particle size, volume, and converted biomass values from each salp gut is available in the related dataset "Salp Gut Particle Sizes" (https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/880927).
