Benthic species records of deep-sea fauna distributed along the Brazilian Continental Margin (BCM), synthesized from published databases, were mapped in ArcGIS and the here...

The video that was collected in November and December 2015 during horizontal transects with the PELAGIOS towed camera system during cruise MSM49 in waters around Cabo Verde in...

This dataset provides data on the abundance of benthic megafauna recorded in ROV dives at a relatively shallow (400 m water depth) site near Baltimore Canyon (BC) and a much...

Here we present the discovery of R. daphneae along the southern Central Indian Ridge, at the Rodriguez Triple Junction, and along the northern Southeast Indian Ridge within the...

Presence-absence records for four cold-water coral (CWC) taxa (Enallopsammia rostrata, Acanella arbuscula, Metallogorgia spp. and Paramuricea spp.) were gathered to conduct...

In-situ measurements of pressure (kPa), high-resolution temperature data (°C) and sound speed (m/s) were acquired by a total of 23 stations. The stations were deployed on the...

We developed habitat suitability models for 14 vulnerable and foundation cold-water coral (CWC) taxa of the Azores (NE Atlantic) using GAM and MAXENT models. The modelled taxa...

It is increasingly recognised that deep-sea mining of seafloor massive sulphides (SMS) could become an important source of mineral resources. These operations will remove the...

Carbon export (from the epipelagic towards the mesopelagic zone) and sequestration (from the mesopelagic towards the bathypelagic zone) in the ocean are reviewed. Particulate...

We developed habitat suitability models for 14 vulnerable and foundation CWC taxa of the Azores employing an original combination of traditional and novel modelling techniques....

Obtaining a comprehensive knowledge of the spatial variation of deep-sea benthic ecosystems is essential for conservation and management purposes. Here we assembled publicly...

Video showing release of embryos (em) from a Craniella zetlandica specimen upon sampling by remotely operated vehicle at 225 m depth in Stjernsund, Northern Norway (70.2707 °N,...

The purpose of the InterRidge Global Database of Active Submarine Hydrothermal Vent Fields, hereafter referred to as the "InterRidge Vents Database," is to provide a...

We used environmental niche modelling along with the best available species occurrence data and environmental parameters to model habitat suitability for key cold-water coral...

The amphipod Hirondellea gigas is the resident in the deepest sea bottom on earth. Their life and biochemical status are still unknown. To investigate the habitat of H. gigas,...

An annotated check-list is given of Aplacophora species occurring deeper than 2000 m in the seas bordering Europe. The check-list is based on published data. The check-list...

Meiofaunal communities from the bathyal ecosystem of the Aegean Sea (Eastern Mediterranean). The dataset contains data on the community structure of nematodes from 7 stations...

An annotated check-list is given of Brachiopoda species occurring deeper than 2000 m in the seas bordering Europe.

Focussing on nematode genera, this dataset provides geographically extensive nematode information from one of the largest shelf areas around the Antarctic continent.

Meiobenthic communities along a depth gradient in the Laptev Sea were sampled in order to identify densities and community compositions. Special attention was paid to the...
