Zooplankton data were collected from NOAA Ship DISCOVERER in the Gulf of Alaska from 20 October 1975 to 10 November 1975. The Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) collected the data with support from the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP). The dataset likely contains species counts or biomass measurements from net casts.
Use Cases
- Analyze zooplankton species distribution based on net cast collection method
- Study seasonal marine ecosystem changes based on data from October-November 1975
- Model baseline zooplankton biomass in the Gulf of Alaska based on OCSEAP project data
- Assess historical marine environmental conditions based on PMEL-collected data
Strengths
- Data collected by NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL)
- Specific temporal coverage from 20 October 1975 to 10 November 1975
- Geographic focus on the Gulf of Alaska
Limitations
- Last updated 1975-11-10 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
