datatype: Zooplankton abstract: National monitoring data from the seas surrounding Sweden. description: Samples are collected by hauling a plankton net vertically through the water. The sampled volume is estimated based on either the flowmeter reading on the net, or from the landing net opening area and the length of the haul . The animals in the net are preserved for later determination, counted and quantified. As the number of animals can be very large sometimes only a subsample is counted which is then translated to the amount in the whole sample. For each species (and sometimes developmental stage and gender) presents the number of animals counted (# Counted), number of animals per volume of water (Abundance), and sometimes weight (wet weight/area, wet weight/volume, Carbon weightlifting) and the mean or median -length (length) originator: data_holding_centre: Swedish National Oceanographic Data Centre at Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) data_distributor: Swedish National Oceanographic Data Centre at Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) database_reference: SHARK internet_access: http://sharkweb.smhi.se, http://sharkdata.se contact: discipline: Marine biology address: Sven Källfelts gata 15 city: Västra Frölunda postal code: SE-426 71 phone: +46-(0)11-495 80 00 email: shark@smhi.se measuring area type: point coordinate system: WGS84 platform class: ship access constraints: unrestricted citation: The data used in this (project/report/etc) has been downloaded from the Swedish National Oceanographic Data Centre at the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI).
