Macrozooplankton concentrations estimated from MOCNESS tow
samples, Continental Margin Western Antarctic Peninsula, GLOBEC
Macrozooplankton abundance and biomass are derived from
MOCNESS-1 plankton tow samples collected from cruises to the Antarctic,
2001 and 2002. The general survey area includes: the continental margin
to the west of the Antarctic Peninsula extending from the northern tip of
Adelaide Island to the southern portion of Alexander Island and east into
Marguerite Bay. The MOCNESS-1 unit has a net mouth opening of one square
meter at a 45 degree tow angle, net size of 335 microns, and the ability
to sample at nine different depth intervals over the duration of the tow.
Biomass (wet weight) and abundance were determined for each depth
interval sampled principally by the technique of silhouette digitization
(Little. W.S., Copley, N.J. 2003. WHOI Silhouette Digitizer version 1.0
User's Guide. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Technical Report
#2003-05, 63 pp). Samples were screened for 32 specific categories of
zooplankton organisms or groups. Note: As of this posting (May 2004),
only data for 2001 are reported. Ships/cruises/dates: RVIB Nathaniel B.
