Toxicity of Heavy Metals in Seawater to Juvenile Heart Urchins (Abatus spp)
These data sets describe the toxicity of lead, coppyer, zinc and cadmium spiked seawater to the juveniles of Abatus ingens and Abatus nimrodi. Metals were tested separately over... -
Interseasonal variability of benthic diatoms communities within the Windmill...
Sediment samples were collected with an Eckamn grab from four locations within the Windmill Islands (Herring Island, O'Connor Island, Shannon Bay and Brown Bay). A weekly... -
Southern Ocean Continuous Plankton Recorder Zooplankton Records
