  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">A series of plankton surveys were undertaken on charter vessels Gill and 
Oceanus in the Blackwater Estuary between 1993-1997 in order to examine 
herring larval growth, dispersal and feeding. Samples of fish eggs and larvae, 
juvenile fish and mesozooplankton were collected for analysis. Data also 
includes associated positional and ancillary data (e.g. surface salinity and 
temperature) and estimates of water volumes filtered.</dc:description>
