Dataset: Zooplankton abundance data from the 10m2 MOCNESS from R/V Endeavor, R/V Albatross I, and; R/V Oceanus broadscale cruises in the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank from 1995-1999 (GB project

Organism abundance derived from sampling by the
10 m² MOCNESS system

Important information:

• The catch from each net was subsampled and all animals in the subsample were counted.
• Due to the shear volume of data, only those animals found were represented in these on-line data. i.e., no animals with zero abundances were listed.
• The precision variation in the latitude and longitude numbers is as reported.
• Not all nets for all tows are represented here. Some nets came back empty.
