Total Zooplankton Biomass, Gulf of Carpentaria 1975-1977

Created 24/06/2017

Updated 24/06/2017

Total zooplankton biomass (g dry weight) were recorded from stepped oblique bottom to surface plankton tows, using a 140-142 micron net. The data also includes a corrected biomass value, allowing comparisons to be made with later data collected using a 250 micron net size. Data were collected during nine cruises that took place between 1975 and 1977 on chartered boats and the "Kalinda". Related datasets include the counts of prawn larvae from these tows.
