Mesozooplankton in S.Aegean and NW Levantine (E.MEditerranean Sea) during spring 1992

Mesozooplankton samples were collected within the project Physical Oceanography of Easten Mediterranean-Biology-Chemistry (POEM-BC). Samples were collected on board of R/V AEGAIO from 92/3/20 till 92/4/15 in the NW Levantine Sea (34.5 N   23 till 36.5N  28.5E) and in the  S.Aegean Sea (36N 24E till 36N 27E). Samples were collected at discrete layers (from the surface till 300m) by vertical tows of a WP-2 net (200 µm) and their taxonomic analysis was performed by Binocular microscope in the laboratory of zooplankton-Institute of Oceanography-Hellenic Centre for Marine research. The data set concerns Taxon-specific mesozooplankton abundance and total mesozooplankton abundance. The dataset includes 55 samples with data of mesozooplankton species composition and abundance. These data are partially published. Important Note: This submission has been initially submitted to SEA scieNtific Open data Edition (SEANOE) publication service and received the recorded DOI. The metadata elements have been further processed (refined) in EMODnet Ingestion Service in order to conform with the Data Submission Service specifications.
