Summary

Estimates of zooplankton taxa abundances identified and analysed using semi-automated methods with the ZooScan instrument and EcoTaxa web application. Data are obtained from opportunistic ringnet sampling at the West Gabbard sampling location as part of a time series. The dataset currently contains the results from zooplankton samples obtained from 30/06/2016 - 28/02/2022, although the time series is ongoing. After subsequent image analysis, the sampling information and results are analysed to provide abundance estimates for zooplankton taxa in m3.
