Phytoplankton data collected during First Ukrainian Antarctic Expedition (March 1997) on board of R/V Krenkel in Bransfield strait and region of Ukrainian Antarctic Station

Dataset includes phytoplankton data collected during First Ukrainian Antarctic Expedition (March 1997) on board of R/V Krenkel in Bransfield strait and region of Ukrainian Antarctic Station. Expedition was organized by Ukrainian Antarctic Research Center. Samples were taken by 7 L Niskin bathometer at standard depths: 0, 20, 25, 50, 75, 100 and 150m. Samples were concentrated by reverse filtration through nucleoporous (nuclear) filters with 1 µm size pores. Fixation - 40% Formalgedid or Glutar. Cell counts were done with a light microscope (magnification 100, 200, 400 x). Individual biovolumes and biomass (wet weight) were calculated via geometric approximations.

At IBSS, the data were digitized from paper processing books, quality-controlled and transformed to comply with the Darwin Core/OBIS Schema. Funds for data operations were kindly provided by the Census of Marine Life International Cosmos Prize Fund, through a grant to Rutgers University.
