Brief description
The biomass and species composition of tropical zooplankton in Albatross Bay, Gulf of Carpentaria, northern Australia, were examined monthly for three years between March 1986 and March 1988. Zooplankton taxonomic groups were identified to species level where possible, with a primary focus on copepods. Abundance data are assumed to be numbers per cubic metre, but this has yet to be confirmed. Sampling occurred across 5 sites (Site 1 = Inshore, Site 5 = Offshore, Sites progressed westward). Temperature and salinity were also recorded for many samples (see https://marlin.csiro.au/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/bc1b3741-e267-5039-e044-00144f7bc0f4).Lineage
Maintenance and Update Frequency: notPlanned
Statement: Data were translated from the original dBase111 files to Lotus 1-2-3, using the latter's translate facility, in 1990. (These files were used to assist in proof-reading.) In August 2004, the data were read off nine 5.25inch floppy disks as Lotus worksheets. Data are currently stored in an Oracle database, and are in the process of being migrated into the CMAR data warehouse, Hobart.
