This datasets contributes to a better understanding of diversity in small peracarid crustacean and their possible distribution patterns in remote deep-sea regions. It contains specimen ocurrence records of the taxon Cumacea sampled with diverse benthic gears (epibenthic sledges, box corer) on the Yermak Plateau north of Svalbard during the PASCAL project with RV Polarstern in 2017 and during the IceAGE expedition IceAGE1 in 2011 in deep sea regions of the Nordic GIN-Seas (Greenland, Iceland and Norwegian Sea). The specimens investigated on morphological and molecular basis in this study were sampled in the course of different projects: The IceAGE program (Icelandic marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology, Brix et al. 2014a) is an ongoing research project (IceAGE 2 in 2013, IceAGE-RR in 2018, IceAGE 3 in 2020) which was established as a follow up of the very successful BIOFAR (Biology of the Faroe Islands, Nørrevang et al. 1994; Gerken and Watling 1999) and BIOICE (Benthic Invertebrates of Icelandic waters, Omarsdottir et al. 2013) projects. It is aimed to develop into a long-term study to get an overview of the biodiversity in this extremely diverse region around Iceland with a variety of different habitats and environmental challenges in its adjacent waters. Based on genetic and morphological diversity, it aims to create an inventory of the fauna as elementary knowledge for a comprehensive understanding of possible responses to changing climate conditions in marine environments (Brix et al. 2014a). The focus of the expedition PS106/1 (ARK-XXXI/1.1, 24th of May – 21st of June, 2017) off northern Svalbard onboard the RV Polarstern in course of PASCAL (Physical feedbacks of Arctic PBL, Sea ice, Cloud and Aerosol) was an interdisciplinary approach for studying the interaction of different Arctic feedback mechanisms based on atmospheric, oceanographic, physical and biological studies (Macke and Flores 2018). In this context the vessel was attached to an ice floe during a two-week passive drifting according to the ocean’s current as a preliminary trial-expedition to the first year-round MOSAiC (Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate) expedition (Sep/2019 – Sep/2020).

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.

This product enables users to assess spatial and temporal change in fish functional feeding traits across the northeast Atlantic shelf seas. Values are based on non-metric multidimensional axis scores, weighted by biomass observed in otter trawl surveys. This product is the result of collating and analyzing fish stomach contents data from the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans to classify fish into feeding guilds. The feeding guilds identified include planktivores, benthivores, bentho-piscivores, and piscivores. Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) analysis was used to provide a more nuanced understanding of different predator feeding traits in relation to others. The NMDS analysis presents axis scores that offer a bounded data perspective, as opposed to categorical, of different predator feeding traits. This analysis is part of the process to classify feeding guilds based on predator stomach contents data.

This dataset is a collection of several sampling campaigns dealing with meiobenthos on different locations and times. All data were gathered between 1966 and 1993, on depths ranging between 30 and 8 380 meters. Meiobenthic information is available for the Arctic, the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Mediterranean and the Red Sea.

This represents data on Benthic fauna, Food webs and the littoral zone from the Polish Academy of Sciences; Institute of Oceanology, taken between 1981 - 1985 from 60 stations annually investigated during summer. This dataset was collected as part of an All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI).
