Added from OBIS (FM). Plankton samples taken from different depths. Plankton samples were taken either superficially or vertically from different depths to the surface off the coast of Brazil (4 degrees 57 minutes N and 34 degrees 42 minutes S). These plankton samples belong to the collections of the Instituto Oceanogr?fico. USP. Some were donated by foreign institutions like the Japanese Government (samples from the Toko Maru cruise) and The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (Atlantis cruise n. 247 along 36?S lat.). Some were donated to the Instituto by the Brazilian Navy. The others were collected by the Institutos staff for several purposes (hydrographical. biological and fisheries research). Note: the author. T.K.S. Bj?rnberg. has updated the taxonomy in July 2008. Unit of abundance = IndCountInt, Unit of biomass = NACitation(s)
