Phytoplankton enumeration and biomass calculations from samples collected in the Barents Sea during 2017-2018

Collection and preservation of open ocean water samples from stations along a transect in the Barents Sea over the course of a year from July 2017 - July 2018. Four cruises in total to cover seasonal changes, two on board the James Clark Ross (RRS) and two aboard the Helmer Hansen (RV). A standard CTD cast was deployed to collect the samples and depths were selected to support Primary Production experiments on board the ship, with deep samples representing 1 % PAR. Research assistants from SAMS (Scottish Association for Marine Science) were responsible for the sample collection and Elaine Mitchell of SAMS was responsible for the sample analysis and data processing.

Funding was provided by the Arctic PRIZE - NERC Thematic grant - Changing Arctic Ocean (CAO) programme - NE/P006302/1.

Statement
Sizing of cells for biomass calculations were done using an eye piece graticule on the microscope. A small number of images were taken and the manual eyepiece measurements were compared to the measurements taken using the Axio imager software and in each case they were almost the same if you rounded up the imaging sizes to the nearest micron.
