Between March and June of 1982 and 1985 a series of plankton surveys was
carried out in the western Irish Sea to determine the distribution and
abundance of the larvae of Nephrops norvegicus L. Plankton samples were
collected at each site on a planned survey grid. In addition to Nephrops
larvae, fish eggs and larvae were also analysed. The data described here
consists of the numbers of Nephrops larvae and fish eggs and larvae identified
from the main net samples collected on a survey carried out in May-June 1982,
along with associated positional and ancillary data and volumes filtered.
