Abstract

This dataset consists of body size measurements from archived zooplankton samples collected from the Bering Sea. Zooplankton data were collected using paired, bongo net tows as part of routine ecosystem assessments conducted by the Alaska Fisheries Science Center. The dataset consists of prosome length (body size) measurements in millimeters (mm) for multiple copepod taxa that are common in the Bering Sea. It consists of one csv file. The size file contains the research cruise name, the year of collection, the start date/time of each cruise, the end data/time of each cruise, the total number of stations used to generate the size data, the maximum latitude for each cruise, the minimum latitude for each cruise, the maximum longitude for each cruise, the minimum longitude for each cruise, the gear used for collection, the taxonomic name of the copepod, the life-history stage of the copepod, and the prosome length in mm.
