Description
Temporal variation in the zooplankton community sampled at a fixed station, West-Hinder, between March 1977 and December 1979. The data are digitized from technical reports in the frame of the 4DEMON project. more

Temporal variation in density and biomass of the zooplankton community sampled at station West-Hinder between 31 March 1977 and 31 December 1979. Density and biomass are given for most abundant zooplankton taxa. For each unique eventID individual copepoda species belonging to the orders Calanoida, Cyclopoida or Harpacticoida were identified and their individual density and biomass is noted.
