This dataset contains phytoplankton samples collected from Puget Sound and analyzed using a particle imaging analyzer (FlowCAM®). For more information see the King County marine phytoplankton webpage.
This specific dataset summarizes phytoplankton abundance and biovolume data to the lowest practical taxonomic unit. Additional datasets summarize abundance and biovolume data by:
• Size Class (all size classes in a sample in one line)
• Sample By Size Class (each sample size class in one line)
• Sample by Specific Functional Group
• Sample by Taxonomic Group
