    • Zooplankton biomass (displacement volumes) collected in the North Atlantic during MARMAP/EcoMon-RV projects from 1977-02-13 to 2015-11-04, data were acquired from the NMFS-COPEPOD database (NCEI Accession 0051894)

    Metadata Updated: March 1, 2025

    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.
