BLACKSEA_CH11_Product_1 / Table of Mnemiopsis leidyi alien species abundance and biomass distribution in the Black sea

The table of Mnemiopsis leidyi alien species abundance and biomass includes 23 available datasets from the Black Sea Database created in framework of the NATO SfP-971818 ODBMS Black Sea Project http://sfp1.ims.metu.edu.tr/ODBMSDB/ and Bulgarian National Monitoring Programme http://bgodc.io-bas.bg/documents/ The data were submitted on Quality assurance (detection of stations with different names but the same geographic location; detection of stations with the same name but with different geographic locations). Afterward:

• The values of stations with different names and the same geographic location were averaged.
• Stations with the same name but in different geographic locations were renamed.
• The units were recalculated from ind/m3 and g/m3 to ind/m2 and g/m2 for more representative spatial surface performance.
