| Description | |
| Summary | Regular monitoring of microzooplankton abundance and community composition collected with a monthly frequency at several discrete depths in the Gulf of Trieste, from 10/1998 to 10/2005. Discrete water samples at 3 to 5 depth layers. 2 litres were collected at each sampling depth. Monthly sampling from 1998 to 2005. Samples were fixed with Ca(HCO3)2-buffered formaldehyde (4% final concentration) and cell abundance and species composition of phytoplankton were estimated according to Utermöhl’s method (1958) using an inverted microscope equipped with phase contrast, at 200-320-400x final magnifications. |
