EN330 MOCNESS PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS

The following code was used to make qualitative estimates from looking at samples after they were preserved in qt. jars.

Estimates do not take into account vol. filtered, and do not claim to include all organisms. Metrida were often found where Calanus were found and Oithona were often found where Centropages were found. Jellies were often Aglantha digitale and Euphausiids were often Meganychtiphanes norvegica.

Code:
N= None Observed
P=Present
MA= Moderately Abundant A= Abundant VA = Very Abundant
