Summary

This data release includes zooplankton data collected from a collaborative effort for Environmental Protection Agency’s Cooperative Science and Monitoring Initiative (CSMI). Zooplankton surveys were conducted during the growing season, from late April to early November, in two Lake Michigan transects in 2010, two Lake Huron transects in 2012, eight Lake Michigan transects in 2015, and nine Lake Huron transects in 2017. Zooplankton samples were collected by whole water-column tows at two or three stations in different bottom-depth categories (i.e., shallow, middle, and deep) in each of the transects. Due to the difference in bathymetry, some transects did not have a deep station. The shallow and middle stations have bottom depths of [...]

Purpose

The CSMI effort intensively samples one of the Great Lakes every five years. The types of samples collected depends on the science priorities at that time, but it usually involves a food web component. These data can be used to estimate numeric density or biomass of zooplankton, and are intended for use by fisheries managers, academia, the fishing industry, and the public.
