Description
Mesozooplankton abundance and composition were determined in the South Adriatic Sea in the framework of the Italian National Research Project PRISMA1-Flussi Project (1995-1996).
Data Records
The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 994 records.
1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
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.

Project Data
No Description available
| Title | PRISMA-1 Flussi |
|---|---|
| Funding | Italian Ministery of University, Education and Research. |
| Study Area Description | Pelagic waters of the South Adriatic Sea |
| Design Description | Oceanographic cruises; vertical sampling with Niskin bottles at discrete depths. |
The personnel involved in the project:
- Principal Investigator
Sampling Methods
Zooplankton are collected by vertical hauls from 50 m to the surface using a WP2 net with 200 µm mesh, 56 cm diameter in stations deeper than 50 m and from 1 m above bottom to the surface in shallow stations.
| Study Extent | Seasonal cruises were carried out in the South Adriatic. |
|---|---|
| Quality Control | Worms taxon match |
Method step description:
- Samples were fixed with Ca(HCO3)2-buffered formaldehyde (2-4% final concentration) for determination of species abundance and composition. Individuals were sorted and counted under binocular microscope.
