HERMES data in PANGAEA only include meiobenthos abundances at the Arctic Håkon Mosby Mud Volcano (1037 records) and meiobenthos abundances in the Black Sea during Poseidon cruise. HERMES is a multidisciplinary research programme investigating Europe's deep marine ecosystems and their environment. Study sites extend from the Arctic to the Black Sea and include biodiversity hotspots such as cold seeps, cold-water coral mounds and reefs, canyons and anoxic environments, and communities found on open slopes.

Cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises) data to understand their abundance and distribution ​​​​This portal assembles at-sea effort-related data collected via ship-based or aerial methods, collated under the Joint Cetacean Database Programme (JCDP). The JCDP aims to streamline the process of accessing and utilising these data by collating the existing and forthcoming cetacean evidence base into a single resource. These data have a wide range of applications and have the potential to support analyses at a range of spatial and temporal scales. The JCDP database hosted by ICES stomach content database includes data from aerial and ship-based surveys from the Arctic waters, Greater North Sea, Northeast, Celtic seas and Bay of Biscay. Data from 74 distinct surveys are published here - Cornwall Wildlife Trust Marine Megafauna Ferry surveys~ 2010-2013, SCANS (Small cetaceans in the European Atlantic and North Sea)-94, SCANS-II and SCANS-III- spanning over the years 1994, 2005, 2009-2013 and 2016. The data are organised at an effort level (effort is a specific time interval within a survey, dedicated to the sightings of marine mammals), and sightings of different taxonomic groups are reported as occurrences. 5411 occurrences of marine mammals and a few other species are reported.

The North Atlantic and Arctic Isopoda dataset contains three parts: 1. Distribution records collected from literature; 2. Distribution records of specimens collected by the BIOICE project (Benthic Invertebrates of Icelandic waters 1992-2004); 3. Distribution records of specimens collected by the IceAGE project (Icelandic marine animals: Genetics and Ecology, since 2011). This dataset contains distribution data regarding the 3nd group, isopods occurrences sampled during the IceAGE project

Happywhale.com is a resource to help you know whales as individuals, and to benefit conservation science with rich data about individual whales. Original provider: HappywhaleDataset credits: Happywhale and contributors Supplemental information: Sightings and images were submitted to Happywhale by contributors. A portion of the Happywhale data were transferred to OBIS-SEAMAP upon the agreement between Happywhale and OBIS-SEAMAP. There may be duplicate records among Happywhale datasets and other OBIS-SEAMAP datasets. The precision of date/time vary per record. Some records have date accuracy up to year only. This dataset includes sightings and photos from the following 14 contributors in alphabetic order: Adelie Xiaohang Li; Andrew Thompson; Annette Bombosch; Chris Lewis; Heidi Krajewsky; Hondius; Lauren Farmer; Marilia Olio; MS Otto Sverdrup; MS Spitsbergen; Nick Savic; Patrick Mitchell; Ronny Hogstrom; Tobias Brehm

Study on meiobenthos and nematode communities (counts, density, biomass, genus composition) collected in the Arctic Ocean in August and September 1991. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Jivaluk, J. (1993). Comparative study of the meiobenthos in the Arctic region. MSc Thesis. RUG: Gent. 135 pp. The meiofauna and nematode communities have been studied in multiple corer samples collected from seven stations in the Arctic Ocean (the Lomonosov Ridge, the Amundsen Basin and the Morris Jesup Rise). Samples were taken at depths ranging between 1072-4273 m using different mesh sizes. Most of the animals are found in the uppermost centimeter of the sediment and their densities decrease with increasing depth into the sediment. The nematode communities are dominated by species of the families Monhysteridae, Linhomoeidae, Chromadoridae and Leptolaimidae. Monhystera has the highest density followed by Metalinhomoeus, Leptolaimus and Acantholaimus. Most of the nematodes which are retained on the 125 and 250 µm mesh are adults. At the smaller mesh (32 and 63 µm) the number of adult increases with increasing water depth.

The Ctenophora collection is part of the SeSAM collections of Senckenberg which combines all collections held at the Senckenberg Natutal History Museum of Frankfurt. This collection is comparatively small; the material reflects not only the research activities of our institute in the Arctic Ocean and North Sea, but also in the Mediterranean and Red Sea. There are no types present today.
