Description:
This data volume presents a series of planktological observations carried out over a 19-year-period in Kiel Bight in the Western Baltic Sea. Three fixed stations (Boknis Eck: 1957 - 1975, Fehmarnbalt: 1951 - 1960, Breitgrund: 1960 - 1971) were visited at monthly intervals, and the plankton standing stock was investigated in relation to depth and environmental factors, employing a standard observation programme. This consisted in the measurement of temperature, salinity, (density), oxygen, (oxygen saturation), total phosphorus, PO4-phosphorus, seston, protein and chlorophyll a. Additional measurements comprised the caloric content of seston, particulate organic carbon and nitrogen (Boknis Eck: 1973 - 75), as well at dry weight and organic matter of p1ankton, sampled by vertical hauls of three plankton nets of different mesh size: 55 µm, 100 µm and 300 µm {Boknis Eck: 1963 - 75).
