Abundances of copepod species in each net from MOCNESS tows in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific collected on four research cruises from 2007-2017

Abstract

This dataset includes abundances of copepod species in each net from MOCNESS tows in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific collected on four research cruises (KN195-02, OC1604B, SJ07, and SKQ201701S) from 2007-2017. Data are from vertically-stratified MOCNESS tows (8 or 9 nets per tow) through and within the Oxygen Minimum Zone (OMZ). Tows sampled various depth ranges between 1200 m to the surface and included paired day and night tows for many strata. Abundances for each species were calculated for each net after accounting for split size and volume filtered and are reported as numbers per 1000 cubic meters of water filtered.
