This dataset includes Doliolid abundance, carbon and nitrogen content, depth, temperature, salinity and in situ chlorophyll a from 25 cruises on the RV/Savannah at the South Atlantic Bight, Mid-Continental Shelf, (31 N 80 W) during 2015-2017. From the bottle samples, the following parameters were also measured:
- Average chemical extracted size fractionated total and > 8 um chlorophyll a and phaeophytin (mg m-3)
- Total and size fractionated (<10 um) POC (mg m-3 and mole L-1)
- Total and size fractionated (<10 um) PON (mg m-3 and mole L-1)
- Total and size fractionated (<10 um) delta13C (per mil vs PDB standard)
- Total and size fractionated (<10 um) delta15N (per mil vs air N2)
- Average delta13C (per mil vs PDB standard) and delta15N (per mil vs air N2) of starved D. gegenbauri zooids.
- D. gegenbauri abundance (individuals m-3)
