Data Records

The data in this sampling event 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 140 records. 2 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.

Method step description:

1. Microphytoplankton - Species abundances Seawater samples are collected at 1m depth using a 5 liters Niskin bottle. 250 mL subsamples were fixed with acid Lugol's solution iodine according to Sournia (1978) back to the lab and stored in dark conditions at room temperature until analysis. For analysis, a sub-sample of lugol preserved water was gently poured into a 50 mL composite settling chamber (HYDRO-BIOS, Kiel), according to the standard Utermöhl settlement method described in Sournia (1978). Quantitative analyses based on the examination of lugol preserved samples were performed between 15 days and up to 1 year after sampling. Cell counts for either the whole chamber, or half a chamber, were obtained after sedimentation, under an inverted light microscope at 400x magnification. Abundance is expressed for each taxa in number of cells per liter. Reference citation to method - Sournia A. 1978. Phytoplankton manual.
