Summary | Description of data processing: the total sample is diluted, mixed and two subsamples are taken and treated under a microscope, determining all the specimens in the subsample.

The number of the rearest and the biggest species is determined in the whole sample. Time: seasonal surveys (February, May, August, October), Location: the Gulf of Riga, standard net of stations, Depth: 0-bottom, layers - changeable by periods. |
