Zooplankton abundance data during 2013 in the Bulgarian Black Sea

Registros de Dados

Os dados deste recurso de evento de amostragem foram publicados como um Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), que é o formato padronizado para compartilhamento de dados de biodiversidade como um conjunto de uma ou mais tabelas de dados. A tabela de dados do núcleo contém 84 registros.

Também existem 2 tabelas de dados de extensão. Um registro de extensão fornece informações adicionais sobre um registro do núcleo. O número de registros em cada tabela de dados de extensão é ilustrado abaixo.

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.

Métodos de Amostragem

Zooplankton samples are collected by vertical plankton Juday net with closing mechanism (0.1 m2 mouth opening area, 150 μm mesh size), from 2 meters above the bottom or oxygen minimum zone to the surface at integral sampling layers or districted layers depending of water stratification and thermocline depth (Alexandrov et al., 2020).

Descrição dos passos do método:

1. The Juday net is hauled vertically with a speed not exceeding 1 m/s (UNESCO, 1968). After taking the net onboard, the content of cod-end is collected. Before zooplankton sample preservation, the gelatinous species (Aurelia aurita, Pleirobrachia pileus, Mnemiopsis leidyi, Beroe ovata) are removed, rinsed, measured and counted on board (Shiganova et al., 2021). The samples are preserved in final 4% formalin solution buffered to pH 8-8.2 with disodiumtetraborate (borax) (Na2B403·10 H20) (Alexandrov et al., 2020). Filtered water volume is calculated based on length of tow and area of mouth: V=S·d, where V [m3] is the volume of water filtered by the net, S [m2] is the mouth surface area, and d [m] is the distance of the tow. In order to save the filtration capacity, after each cruise the net must be washed with detergent in warm fresh water. After storage for at least 20 days in a cool and dark place, in the laboratory the samples are concentrated to 100-150 ml and settled before being divided into sub-samples. Dimov’s method (1959) is used for quantitative assessment (abundance) and qualitative (taxonomic structure) processing of sub-samples examined by using an Olympus SZ30 Stereoscopic Zoom Microscope. Large scale zooplankters (Calanus euxinus, Chaetognaths, Decapoda larvae, Pisces eggs and larvae, etc.) are counted in the whole sample. Species were identified according to Morduhay-Boltovskoy (1968, 1969, 1972) manuals. Taxonomic nomenclature is according to the on-line data-base of World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) http://www.marinespecies.org/
