Description:
Principal investigators: Z. Uysal, E. Mutlu, Sorting: G. Ergun, S. Bayrakdar, Identification: V. Koroshilov, U. Niermann 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. Data provider: Dr. Erhan Mutlu. Quality control: Dr. Erhan Mutlu.
