Description 
Summary

Data acquired during the regular monitoring of mesozooplankton abundance and community composition collected with a monthly frequency along the water column in the Gulf of Trieste, from 07/1998 to 12/1998. Zooplankton are collected by vertical hauls from 15 m to the surface using a WP2 net with 200 µm mesh, 56 cm diameter. Samples were fixed with Ca(HCO3)2-buffered formaldehyde (2-4% final concentration) for determination of species abundance and composition. Individuals were sorted and counted under binocular microscope.
