摘要: Zooplankton biomass data have been collected in Australian waters since the 1930s, yet most datasets unavailable to research community. We searched archives, scanned primary and grey literature, contacted researchers, collate 49187 records of marine zooplankton from around Australia (0–60°S, 110–160°E). Many these are relatively small, but when combined, they provide >85 years for 1932 present. Data standardised all available metadata included. lodged this dataset with Ocean Network, allowing full public access. The Biomass Database will be valuable global change studies, assessing trophic linkages, initialising biogeochemical ecosystem models lower levels.
