Plankton community in WP2 net (200µm), PNMIR cruises, Parc Naturel Marin d'Iroise, France

Other

The PNMIR cruises sample zooplankton (and other variables) regularly within the Marine Protected Area "Parc Naturel Marin d’Iroise", under the supervision of the Office Français de la Biodiversité. This monitoring is part of the general assessment of this Marine Protected Area and is to be linked with the small pelagic fish stock in the region. This dataset comes from collection with a WP2 net and therefore covers organisms from 200µm to ~2cm. WP2 net (200μm mesh) hauled vertically from 5m above the bottom to the surface. Sample preserved in 4% buffered formalin and stored over the long term at the Centre de Collections Planctoniques de Villefranche (CCPv). Sample scanned on a ZooScan, images processed with ZooProcess and sorted taxonomically on EcoTaxa, within the Plateforme d'Imagerie Quantitative de Villefranche (PIQv). The PIQv and CCPv platforms are part of EMBRC-France, a national Research Infrastructure supported by ANR, under the reference ANR-10-INSB-02
