Description
The IMR zooplankton database holds Norwegian Sea data on size fractionated biomass as well as biomass for particular zooplankton groups obtained from standard seasonal transects (Svinøy, Gimsøy and Bjørnøya-vest) and a regional coverage of the Norwegian Sea during spring. Data on species composition (abundance) are limited.
Lineage
Prior to publication data undergo quality control checked which are described in https://github.com/EMODnet/EMODnetBiocheck?tab=readme-ov-file#understanding-the-output
