Description
Regular monitoring of microzooplankton abundance and community composition collected with a monthly frequency at several discrete depths in the Gulf of Trieste, from 6/1993 to 11/1993.
Data Records
The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 2,277 records.
1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Sampling Methods
Discrete water samples at 3 to 5 depth layers. 2 liters were collected at each sampling depth.
| Study Extent | Monthly sampling from 1990 to 1993. |
|---|
Method step description:
- Samples were fixed with Ca(HCO3)2-buffered formaldehyde (4% final concentration) and cell abundance and species composition of phytoplankton were estimated according to Utermöhl’s method (1958), using an inverted microscope equipped with phase contrast, at 200-320-400x final magnifications.
