Zooplankton biomass measured from net tows conducted during ongoing monthly cruises, from April 1994 to December 2022, at the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) site in the Sargasso Sea
Abstract:
This dataset includes measurements of zooplankton biomass from net tows conducted during ongoing monthly cruises, from April 1994 to June 2023, at the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) site (31° 40' N 64° 10'W) in the Sargasso Sea. Mesozooplankton were collected by oblique tows using a rectangular frame net with 202 micrometer (µm) mesh. Samples from tows were immediately split on board for subsequent wet and dry weight measurements.
