Title: Zooplankton abundance with developmental stages from MOCNESS nets from the ARSV Laurence M. Gould LMG0104, LMG0203 from the Southern Ocean, 2001-2002 (SOGLOBEC project) (NCEI Accession 0112170)
Abstract: This dataset contains biological and survey - biological data collected on ARSV Laurence M. Gould during cruises LMG0104 and LMG0203 in the South Atlantic Ocean, South Pacific Ocean, and Southern Ocean from 2001-05-01 to 2002-05-08. These data include abundance, depth_close, depth_open, stage, and taxon. The instruments used to collect these data include MOCNESS1. These data were collected by Dr Kendra L. Daly of University of South Florida as part of the "U.S. GLOBEC Southern Ocean (SOGLOBEC)" project and "U.S. GLOBal ocean ECosystems dynamics (U.S. GLOBEC)" program. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2023-01-23.

Supplementary information: Acquisition Description:
Zooplankton abundance, vertical and horizontal distribution, and population structure were assessed using a 1 m 2 Multiple Opening and Closing Nets and Environmental Sampling System (MOCNESS) with nine nets having 333 u m mesh and environmental sensors of temperature, salinity, and depth. The entire water column was sampled on the downcast using net # 0, which was not analyzed. The upper water column was typically sampled using nets 1 and 2 from 500 m to 200 m at 150 m depth intervals, nets 3 and 4 from 200 m to 100 m at 50 m depth intervals, and nets 5 to 8 from 100 m to the surface at 25 m depth intervals. Some tows were deployed down to 1000 m, and some tows were towed targeting krill swarms at irregular depths. Approximate locations of process study stations are shown in Fig. 1. More precise locations of the casts in Fig. 2.
