This dataset includes abundance data for females of the copepod species Calanus pacificus and Metridia pacifica, collected from closing vertical ring net tows conducted during 6 cruises to Dabob Bay, WA in 2006 - 2008 at a single fixed station in Puget Sound WA (47 46.14N, 122 50.10W). Nets were Puget Sound-type ring nets, with diameters of either 50 cm, 60 cm, or 1 m, depending on the cruise and the operation. These samples were collected for NSF the funded project, NSF OCE-0525943 "Forays and foraging by marine zooplankton". Samples were collected primarily at night, but occasional day time samples (for comparison of vertical distribution) were made on some cruises.
