String summary
"Dungeness crab (Metacarcinus magister) megalopae and larval decapods picked from archived CalCOFI oblique-tow plankton samples, examined for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Two efforts: a 2008-2014 time series of 310 sorted samples (A. Klemmedson, 2015) yielding 24 M. magister megalopae from 14 samples, and a 1949-2009 master sorting log of 2,011 archived samples (E. Jones, as of 2012-02-15) recording which had been examined. Spring cruises, CalBOBL oblique tows, lines < 80 / stations < 90. Counts are occurrence in the examined aliquot, not standardized density. Sorting was performed at the SIO Pelagic Invertebrate Collection, where the removed megalopae are archived in vials. One row per observation: a measurement of one quantity at one event, taxon and depth. `measurement_type` names the quantity and `measurement_value` holds it, so filter on measurement_type.

Data Access Protocol (DAP) and its
selection constraints.
The URL specifies what you want: the dataset, a description of the graph or the subset of the data, and the file type for the response.
Tabledap request URLs must be in the form
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/datasetID.fileType{?query}
For example,
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/pmelTaoDySst.htmlTable?longitude,latitude,time,station,wmo_platform_code,T_25&time>=2015-05-23T12:00:00Z&time<=2015-05-31T12:00:00Z
Thus, the query is often a comma-separated list of desired variable names,
followed by a collection of
constraints (e.g., variable<value),
each preceded by '&' (which is interpreted as "AND").
For details, see the tabledap Documentation.
