This data set contains information on zooplankton and associated environmental parameters for sampling conducted in California's northern Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta between May 2016 and April 2018. Macrozooplankton were sampled with horizontal tows (water surface) of a 50 cm-diameter conical plankton net that was 150cm long with 102um mesh. Samples were preserved in the field in 10 percent formalin for laboratory processing that was conducted by a contractor (EcoAnalysts, Inc).
