Parameters and Media

Parameter groups measured/observed/modelled

Media sampled/studied/modelled

Additional information or further specification of types of data / information collected, species / tissues / organs sampled, etc.

Zooplankton sampled with dipnets and Mocness-multinett plankton trawl. The material is splitted for preservation and biomass investigated. Biomass in three different size categories is currently worked up, reported and the data are stored in a minor database. Species specific data are worked up to a minor extent.
