| Dataset Name | PI-Supplied Description | PI-Supplied Name |
|---|---|---|
| Copepod species abundances from bongo tows, Arabian Sea JGOFS Process cruises R/V Thomas G. Thompson TT050, TT054 from Aug-Nov 1995 (Arabian Sea project, Arabian Sea Diapausing Copepods project) | Folsom plankton splitter and 1, 2 or 5ml Stempel pipette | |
| Zooplankton abundance and size data from Bongo plankton net tows conducted in the subtropical Southern California Bight during February and April 2021 | The 53 µm samples were split using a 10 ml Hensen Stempel Pipette, sorted under a dissecting microscope and zooplankton identified based on morphological characteristics and measured using an eyepiece micrometer. | Hensen Stempel Pipette |
| Abundance and composition of zooplankton communities at the Darling Marine Center Monitoring stations collected on R/V Ira in the Damariscotta Estuary from 2007 to 2011 (DMC project) | Device for splitting a plankton sample into two approximately equal parts. It uses a hollow cylindrical drum mounted to rotate on a horizontal axis with a semi-circular divider midway between the end walls of the drum. | Folsom Plankton Splitter |
| Abundance and composition in columnar view of the zooplankton community at the Darling Marine Center Monitoring stations from R/V Ira C. in the Damariscotta Estuary; Maine coast from 2007-2011 (DMC project) | Device for splitting a plankton sample into two approximately equal parts. It uses a hollow cylindrical drum mounted to rotate on a horizontal axis with a semi-circular divider midway between the end walls of the drum. | Folsom Plankton Splitter |
