This dataset contains zooplankton biomass displacement volumes sampled using zooplankton nets on various platforms in the North Pacific Ocean from 1951-01-10 to 2015-05-01, as part of the California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations (CalCOFI). The accession contains biomass data in long and short format as it is available in the COPEPOD program. The accession also includes the HTML files for the user to reconstruct the COPEPOD environment and search for data by platform, project, investigator, cruise and taxa. Data from this program have supported numerous analyses documenting the seasonal and inter-annual variability in the distribution and abundance of the zooplankton taxa in the North Pacific.

This dataset contains zooplankton biomass displacement volumes sampled using zooplankton nets on various platforms in the North Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea from 1982-02-24 to 2012-09-28 as part of the Southeast Area Monitoring and Assessment Program (SEAMAP). SEAMAP is a state/federal program designed to collect, manage, and disseminate fishery-independent data in the southeastern U.S. The accession contains biomass data in long and short format as it is available in the COPEPOD program. The accession also includes the HTML files for the user to reconstruct the COPEPOD environment and search for data by platform, project, investigator, cruise and taxa. Data from this program have supported numerous analyses documenting the seasonal and inter-annual variability in the distribution and abundance of the zooplankton taxa in the North Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.

This dataset contains zooplankton biomass displacement volumes sampled using zooplankton nets on various platforms by the Northeast Fisheries Science Center in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1977 to 1987 as part of the Marine Resources Monitoring, Assessment, & Prediction (MARMAP) and by the Ecosystem Monitoring-Research Vessel (EcoMON RV) program from 2000 to 2015. The accession contains biomass data in long and short format as it is available in the COPEPOD program. The accession also includes the HTML files for the user to reconstruct the COPEPOD environment and search for data by platform, project, investigator, cruise and taxa. Data from this program have supported numerous analyses documenting the seasonal and inter-annual variability in the distribution and abundance of the dominant zooplankton taxa on the Northeast Continental Shelf.

Zooplankton biomass (displacement volume) data collected during the NMFS Marine Mammal Survey program from Pacific Ocean from 1998-08-03 to 2006-12-05, data were acquired from the NMFS-COPEPOD database (NODC accession 0071761)

Zooplankton biomass data (displacement volume) collected in North Atlantic during ICNAF (International Convention for the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries) NORWESTLANT projects I-III in 1963 by different countries. These data were acquired from the NMFS-COPEPOD database.

Zooplankton biomass data from the Hokkaido University Long-term Fisheries and Oceanographic Database

Zooplankton biomass (displacement volume, dry mass, and ashfree dry mass) data collected in Eastern Central Atlantic during CIPREA project in Jul - Sep 1978 by France. Data were acquired from the NMFS-COPEPOD global plankton database at http://www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/plankton in COPEPOD database format only. Data are not available in originator's format.

Zooplankton biomass data were collected from net tows from the South Pacific Ocean. Data were collected by the Bedford Institute of Oceanography (BIO) from 27 January 1967 to 26 November 1967. Zooplankton samples were obtained from oblique tows and parameters include maximum tow depth, total water volume passed through net, small plankton volume, total plankton volume, and standard haul factor.

Zooplankton biomass data collected from Pacific Ocean in 1950 - 1961 years received from NMFS

Mapset showing zooplankton biomass in the Timor Triangle. Data was collected from oceanographic surveys conducted between 1959 and 1964 onboard the vessels "Gascoyne" and "Diamantina". Clarke-Bumpus Horizontal Haul, zooplankton biomass milligrams per cubic metre. These maps have been produced by CSIRO for the National Oceans Office, as part of an ongoing commitment to natural resource planning and management through the 'National Marine Bioregionalisation' project.
