Assembled file of spring annual averages of abundance of selected euphausiids from the Southern California region, 1951 - 2011.

Derived dataset of spring annual averages of abundance of sentinel euphausiid species (Euphausia pacifica, Nyctiphanes simplex and Nematoscelis difficilis) since 1951 (ongoing). Zooplankton are collected in net tows and enumerated by major taxa from spring CalCOFI cruises (lines 80-93, inclusive of stations from shore out to station 70). Original data are from the zooplankton dataspace, specifically the Brinton-Townsend Euphausiid Database.
