Project Data

The project 'Hispabiota Marina', is a long-term project to create the first inventory of the marine biota of Hispaniola, with nearly 3,000 species compiled.

Sampling Methods

Net plankton samplings in horizontal and vertical tows at several levels in the water column from the surface.

Method step description:

1. This dataset corresponds to a compilation of occurrences from two literature sources: Owre (Michael) and Foyo (1972) and Michael and Foyo (1976).
2. The data belongs to plankton samples collected from the EEZs of Haiti, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico, during 8 cruises of the B/I John Elliott Pillsbury where 45 stations were sampled. Hydrographic data were also collected along with plankton samples. Samples were obtained with net plankton in horizontal and vertical tows at several levels in the water column from the surface to a depth near the bottom (7500 m maximum depth).
