Zooplankton were collected using a 0.5m diameter ring net with 200 um mesh fitted with a mechanical flow meter (General Oceanics, Model 2030R) at the net opening and filtering cod-end. Nets were towed for approximately 5 minutes at 1-2 knots. Samples were gently rinsed with filtered seawater into glass jars and preserved in a 10% buffered formalin solution until later analysis in the laboratory where zooplankton taxa were identified and enumerated using a dissecting microscope.\n\ncdm_data_type = Point\nVARIABLES:\ntime (Time Local, seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)\nstation (Generic description of sampling station)\ntow (Net tow number)\nlatitude (degrees_north)\nlongitude (degrees_east)\nvolume_sampled (Volume of seawater sampled, m3)\nsample_jar (Sample jar label)\nzooplankton_taxa\nzooplankton_abundance (m-3)\n https://erddap.marine.rutgers.edu/erddap/metadata/fgdc/xml/DELAWARE_BAY_MP_zoo_abundance_fgdc.xml https://erddap.marine.rutgers.edu/erddap/metadata/iso19115/xml/DELAWARE_BAY_MP_zoo_abundance_iso19115.xml https://erddap.marine.rutgers.edu/erddap/info/DELAWARE_BAY_MP_zoo_abundance/index.htmlTable marine.rutgers.edu http://erddap.marine.rutgers.edu/erddap/rss/DELAWARE_BAY_MP_zoo_abundance.rss https://erddap.marine.rutgers.edu/erddap/subscriptions/add.html?datasetID=DELAWARE_BAY_MP_zoo_abundance&showErrors=false&email= Rutgers, The State University.
