BioChem: Ring net samples collected as part of a JGOFS cruise in the North Atlantic during the fall of 1992

This resource contains species distribution records extracted from the Fisheries and Oceans Canada BioChem database for the BioChem 'BIO-JGOFS 1992' series of records. This collection contains zooplankton abundance and distribution information for locations from a cruise transect across the North Atlantic. Samples were collected from 120 m to the surface using a 75 cm diameter conical net of 202 micron mesh towed vertically through the water column. Sample analysis results were archived in the BioChem database. This OBIS resource contains a subset of these database records - at this time only abundance information has been released.
