2004 - 2013 Centre for Environment, Fisheries & Aquaculture Science (Cefas) Eastern Irish Sea (EIS) Smart Buoy Samples Project Plankton Survey

A series of surveys were carried out from 2004 to 2011 by the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science at the Smart Buoy site in the eastern Irish Sea, deployed from RV Prince Madog. The aim of each survey was to collect 10 vertical zooplankton ringnet samples at Site A to determine species diversity and abundance. This data consists of the numbers of zooplankton, along with associated positional data and volumes filtered.
