Summary
This data set contains information on zooplankton and associated environmental parameters for sampling conducted in the San Joaquin River and False River near their confluence at Jersey Point (Contra Costa County, California), during February-March, 2016. Macrozooplankton were sampled with vertical tows (bottom to surface) of a 50 cm-diameter conical plankton net that was 150cm long with 102µm mesh. Samples were preserved in the field in 10% formalin for laboratory processing that was conducted by a contractor (EcoAnalysts, Inc).

Purpose
To examine the distribution and abundance of zooplankton in relation to water quality and hydrodynamic habitat features. This was a short-term study to address very specific research questions. It would be inappropriate to use the data beyond the scope of that effort.
