Abstract

This dataset contains four years of data for the continuous plankton recorder survey program's mid-Atlantic bight transect. This dataset contains relative near-surface abundance information for phytoplankton and zooplankton across a transect crossing the continental shelf from Sandy Hook, New Jersey, USA to the Southeast ending at the shelf break. This survey is organized by the Marine Biological Association (formerly the Sir Alister Hardy Foundation). Sample processing for these four years was ...
