# Zooplankton abundance and environmental variables at weathership station India, 59 o N 19 o W, from 1974 to 1975

## TL;DR

This paper presents a dataset of zooplankton and environmental measurements collected from 1971 to 1975 in the North Atlantic Ocean.

## Contribution

The study provides a detailed, long-term dataset of zooplankton and environmental variables at a specific oceanic location.

## Key findings

- Zooplankton taxa like Calanus finmarchicus and Metridia lucens were quantitatively recorded.
- Environmental variables such as temperature, salinity, and chlorophyll a were measured alongside zooplankton data.
- The dataset is organized into separate Excel files for each variable, facilitating analysis.

## Abstract

This dataset was collected between 1971 and 1975 at Weathership Station India (59°N, 19°W) in the North Atlantic Ocean. It comprises quantitative records of several zooplankton taxa—
Calanus finmarchicus,
Metridia lucens,
Pleuromamma robusta,
Oithona spp.,
Oncaea spp., and
Acartia spp.—alongside measurements of phytoplankton abundance, temperature, salinity, chlorophyll
a concentration, Secchi depth, and primary production. Sampling frequency and depth resolution varied by parameter. The dataset is organized into separate Excel files for each variable.
