The data comes from the Jiangsu Taihu Lake Ecosystem National Field Scientific Observation and Research Station in Jiangsu province, China. During the period from 1991 to 1995, nine sampling sites were established in the northern part of Taihu Lake, covering an approximate area of 1000 km². From 1995 to 2004, the number of monitoring sites increased to 14, encompassing the entire Taihu Lake. Starting in 2005, the number of monitoring sites were further expanded to 32, ensuring coverage of the main ecological types within the larger area of 2338 km². The data compiled here are the observations from the eight sites established in the 1990s, that is the sites in Meiliang Bay and the central waters of the lake. The eight sites (labeled as 0, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) were surveyed monthly, with sampling in the middle of each month. The observation data of zooplankton include protozoa, rotifers and crustaceans. A volume of 7.5 liters waters was sampled to measure the biomass of zooplankton. For each sampling event (combinations of year, month and site), the biomass of each species was measured using the widely used method measuring the biomass of protozoa, rotifers and crustaceans. This dataset includes the observation in years from 1997 and 2002.Citation(s)
