Between June 1966 and in December 1969. zooplankton samples were collected using either plankton-pumping system. a modified Juday closing net 1m in diameter with a 215 um Nitex mesh . a newly designed net that had a square mouth opening 2m on a side or a 3m2 net with a 215 um Nitex mesh. The volume of water filtered by the nets was estimated by multiplying the area of the mouth opening by the depth interval sampled. The 1-m net samples in the summer of 1967 covered depth intervals of 10m. From September 1967. the 1-m and 2-m nets sampled 20m intervals to 200 m. 50 m intervals from 200-300m. 100m intervals from 300 to 1000m. and 500m intervals from 1000 to 2000m. The samples were preserved in 5% formaldehyde solution buffered with sodium borate. Unit of abundance = IndCountInt, Unit of biomass = NACitation(s)
