Nanoeukaryotes
Description This product is a series of gridded abundance maps of nanoeukaryotes in the North Sea from 2007-2008 at four different depth ranges. The highest abundances of these nanoeukaryotes, which have a size ranging from 2 to 20 µm diameter, were found in the less saline Norwegian and Skagerrak surface waters. Micro-organisms as these are vital for the functioning of marine food webs (considered in MSFD descriptor 4) and are the main drivers of the global biogeochemical cycles. This product was developed with DIVA (Data-Interpolating Variational Analysis). Data was provided by NIOZ (C. Brussaard).Citation: European Marine Observation Data Network (EMODnet) Biology project (www.emodnet-biology.eu), funded by the European Commission’s Directorate - General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE).
