This survey series took place from 2006 to 2010 and consisted of 15 voyages.
Plankton samples were collected at each site on a planned survey grid. This
data consists of the numbers of fish eggs and larvae, along with associated
positional data and volumes filtered.
A fine mesh (80 micron) 'PUP' sampler, attached to the frame of the Gulf VII
sampler, was used to collect plankton samples for analysis of zooplankton
species. These were analysed under Cefas contract C3576 and are recorded
separately.
