Description:
Biological Data: Mnemiopsis leidyi  biomass and abundance     Were other gelatinous measured or not: Yes (Aurelia aurita, Pleurobrachia pileus)     Area of sampling: Southern Black Sea     Net type: Hensen net, Nansen net     Mesh size: 300 µm, 112 µm     Net mouth opening:  0.7 m     Sampling, analysis and processing methods: Hauling speed: 1.5m/s. Samples were sorted out and freshly counted and weighed onboard with hand-balance.  Sampling volume was estimated by multiplying the mouth area with the wire length.     Data originator:  Dr. Ahmet E.Kideys     Data provider:  Dr. Ahmet E.Kideys     Quality control:  Dr. Ahmet E.Kideys.

Parameters list: Gelatinous plankton, Zooplankton, DOW, H2S, Mn/SW, NH4, NO2-N, NO3-N, NO3-N+NO2-N, pH, Phaeo, PO4, Si, Total Chl-a, Beam Transmission, Chelsea/SeaTech, FLUO, Density, Salinity, Sea currents, Temperature, ITS-90
