zoe.meriguet@imev-mer.fr 2026-03-04 eng The Tara Pacific expedition sampled differents ecosystems of the oceans during a two-year expedition (2016-2018), collecting environmental data and surface plankton of Atlantic and Pacific Ocean, from viruses to metazoans, on board the 36-metre Tara Schooner. Mesoplankton was sampled using the High-Speed Net (330-micron mesh size), a net designed to collect plankton while sailing at high speed.See https://doi.org/10.17882/102336 for more details.
