Development of a Vertically-Profiling, High Resolution, Digital Zooplankton Imaging System.

Abstract

The objective of this project is to develop a new oceanographic profiling instrument capable of measuring the abundance, taxonomic identity and size distributions of zooplankton and other small marine particles along with environmental data (temp., salinity, pressure, fluorescence, optical transmittance) in the upper 250 m of the water column on centimeter verticle scales.
