Seasonal, diel and vertical distribution of zooplankton in Comau Fjord, Chilean Patagonia

DOI

Seasonal, diel and vertical distribution of mesozooplankton was described over the entire water column of Comau Fjord, northern Chilean Patagonia. Stratified vertical hauls we taken with a Nansen net (100 μm mesh) between the surface and the bottom (0-50-100-200-300-400-450 m) in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Samples were scanned with a ZooScan, and abundance, biovolume and biomass were determined for 41 taxa identified on the web-based platform EcoTaxa 2.0. This dataset was generated in the frame of the co-operation between the Universidad Austral de Chile (https://www.uach.cl), the Huinay Scientific Field Station (http://www.huinay.cl) and the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research (http://www.awi.de) in the frame of the project PACOC Plankton- And cold-water COral ecology in Comau Fjord, Chile. The study was also embedded in activities of the Research Center Dynamics of High Latitude Marine Ecosystems (IDEAL) (http://www.centroideal.cl/eng/).
