Description:
Biological Data: Mnemiopsis Leidyi biomass and abundance Sampling method: Hensen net : vertical haulst, with mouth opening 0.70 m, mesh size 300um. Hauls from 0-100 offshore stations, and from 0-depth 2 m above the bottom inshore (<200 m). Hauling speed: 1.5m/s. Samples were sorted out and freshly enumerated and weighed onboard with hand-balance. Sampling volume was estimated by multiplying the mouth area with the wire length.  Principal investigator:  Dr. Erhan Mutlu   Data provider: Dr. Erhan Mutlu.  Quality control: Dr. Erhan Mutlu.

Parameters list: Gelatinous plankton, Zooplankton, DOW, H2S, Hg/SW, NO3-N+NO2-N, PO4, POC, PON, Si, Total Chl-a, TPP, TSS, SD, Density, Salinity, Sea currents, Temperature, ITS-90
