Description
Mean weight and thorax length of the most important Copepoda species of samples taken between January and October 1971 and for 1 sample taken on 30th of May 1974 at station M55. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Van Gijsegem, B. (1979). Bijdrage tot de gewichtsbepaling van de belangrijkste soorten Copepoda in de zuidelijke bocht van de Noordzee. BSc Thesis. VUB: Brussel. 48 pp. more

in EurOBIS and EMODnet Biology portal there is presence-only data of the most of the most important Copepoda species of samples taken between January and October 1971 and for 1 sample taken on 30th of May 1974 at station M55. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Van Gijsegem, B. (1979). Bijdrage tot de gewichtsbepaling van de belangrijkste soorten Copepoda in de zuidelijke bocht van de Noordzee. BSc Thesis. VUB: Brussel. 48 pp. The original report included mean weight and thorax length data that was not included in this versions of the dataset due to the impossibility of standardization, although it is included in the archived dataset (MDA link)
