Zooplankton data were collected using net casts in the Bering Sea from NOAA Ship DISCOVERER from 03 August 1976 to 17 August 1976. Data were collected by University of Alaska in Fairbanks; Institute of Marine Science with support from the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) project.
Use Cases
- Analyze zooplankton species distribution based on net cast collection methods
- Study seasonal marine ecosystem dynamics based on data from a specific August timeframe
- Assess baseline environmental conditions for Outer Continental Shelf programs
Strengths
- Data collected by a recognized institution (University of Alaska; Institute of Marine Science)
- Specific temporal coverage from 1976-08-03 to 1976-08-17
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Last updated 1976-08-17 00:00:00; freshness should be verified
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
