  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">This survey was carried out in the Irish Sea and Bristol Channel between 12th 
and 26th April 1996. As part of the aims of this survey, a grid of stations in 
the western Irish Sea was sampled for plankton. A further set of plankton 
stations was sampled in an area south of Milford Haven and across the Bristol 
Channel to provide an indication of fish egg and larval distributions 
following the Sea Empress oil spill and enable comparison with previous years.

The data described here consists of the numbers of ichthyo- and zooplankton 
analysed and *Nephrops* larvae, along with associated positional and 
ancillary data and volumes filtered.</dc:description>
