The micro and mesozooplankton of the Patos Lagoon estuary have been sampled monthly by the zooplankton laboratory of the Federal University of Rio Grande (FURG) at two locations inside the estuary (since Apr 2009) and another at the local adjoining area (since Nov 2009), near FURG´s marine aquaculture station. Mini-bongo nets fitted with 90 and 200 microns and callibrated flowmeters are being used to collect the samples. Temperature and salinity data as well as water samples to measure Chlorophyll a are also collected from each sampling site.Purpose
The general purposes of this data bank are to provide information on zooplankton sampled in the Patos Lagoon estuary, and to identify long term trends on the zooplankton of the Patos Lagoon estuary.Sampling Description
Study Extent
Sampling covers the inner estuary near the city of Rio Grande. Another location near the mouth of the estuary and another at the Cassino beach Coordinates: Channel (32°08’56” S 52°06’03” W), Inner estuary (32°01’30” S 52°06’24”W) and Cassino beach (32º 12.376’ S 52º 10.561’ W).Sampling
Zooplankton samples at the estuary are being collected using mini bongo frames of 30 cm of diameter fitted with 200 and 90 microns meshes with calibrated Hydrobios flowmeters attached to the mouth of each net. For the Cassino beach, a conventional 30 cm diameter frame fitted with a 200 mesh and a calibrated TSK flowmeter are being used. Temperature and salinity are measured using a thermosalinometer (Hanna HI 9828), refractometers and a mercury thermometer. Water samples of 100 mL from each site are filtered trough GF/F Filters (Whatman) using a syringe coupled with a swinnex attachment. Samples are collected from sub-superficial horizontal tows of ~ 3 min using mini bongo frames of 30 cm of diameter fitted with 200 and 90 microns meshes with calibrated Hydro-Bios flowmeters attached to the mouth of each net. For the Cassino beach, a conventional 30 cm diameter frame fitted with a 200 mesh and a calibrated TSK flowmeter are being used. All samples are immediately preserved in a 4% borax buffered formaldehyde solution (Steedman, 1976) until processing. Temperature and salinity are measured on each station using a thermosalinometer (Hanna HI 9828), refractometers and a mercury thermometer. On each station two samples of 20 to 100 mL are collected and filtered trough 2.5 cm glass microfibre filters (Whatman GF/F) using a syringe with a filter holder attachment (Swinnex). Each filter paper are then folded in half, wrapped in foil and frozen until processing. Chlorophyll a are extracted with 90% acetone and readings are made on a calibrated Turner Designs Fluorometer (TD 700) according to Welshmeyer (1994).Quality Control
All samples are collected under the supervision of post-graduate students of the Zooplankton Laboratory, and the quality of data are checked before uploading in the data bank.Method steps
- All zooplankton organisms present on subsamples of 1.25 to 50 % of the 200 µm mesh samples, were counted on a stereoscopic microscope and identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible. Copepod species were identified according to Björnberg (1981); Bradford-Grieve (1999) and Rose (1933). Barnacle nauplii according to Lang (1979; 1980) and the remaining species and/or groups using references on Boltovskoy (1981, 1999). All results are expressed in numbers of organisms.m-3.

Geographic Coverages
The Patos Lagoon at the southern Brazilian coastal plain (Rio Grande do Sul state) is the largest (10,360 km2) choked lagoon in the world stretching in a NE SW direction from the city of Porto Alegre (30º30’ S) to Rio Grande (32º12’ S). In the southern estuarine region, approximately 10 % of total area, a single and narrow inlet connects this lagoon to the Atlantic Ocean. The major tributary rivers at the northern and central areas of Patos Lagoon, and the São Gonçalo channel at the southern area, are significant freshwater sources from an extensive drainage basin. The hydrodynamics of Patos Lagoon estuary is strongly controlled by the discharge of tributary rivers and the action of predominant winds.
