Ecological study of the plankton in the port of Ostend in 1965
An overview of all plankton species and corresponding environmental parameters measured in the harbour of Ostend in 1965. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: De Pauw, C. (1966). Oekologische studie van het plankton in de haven van Oostende gedurende 1965. MSc Thesis. Universiteit Gent. Faculteit Wetenschappen: Gent. 147, bijlage 54 pp. This dataset gives an overview of plankton (phyto-and zooplankton) as well as metazoan and protozoan species sampled at 3 places in the harbour of Ostend. Surface samples using a phytoplanktonnet were taken monthly between January and September 1965. This study mainly focused on the group Crustacea, of which Copepoda are by far the most important group. A number of physico-chemical factors such as salinity, oxygen, pH, temperature were measured.
