Morphometric data from fish of the genus Muraenolepis from South Georgia and from published descriptions

The data include size, sex, location and morphological measurements and of Muraenolepis specimens included in Fitzcharles et al. (2021). The morphometric data were primarily collected from fish captured during South Georgia Groundfish Surveys in 2003, 2004 and 2005, with additional data obtained from type specimens and extracted from published descriptions of Muraenolepididae. For genetic studies, tissue samples from the South Georgia specimens were supplemented by additional tissue samples from Muraenolepis in other parts of the Southern Ocean. Source, location and depth of capture are included for all specimens that were sequenced, together with sequence Accession Numbers (to the DNA Database of Japan) for Cox 1 and 16S rRNA sequences.

The work was primarily funded by the Government of South Georgia & the South Sandwich Islands and was a component part of Elaine Fitzcharles' PhD (University of St Andrews).

Statement

Methodology:

Data were obtained from three sources. Morphometric data were collected from frozen and thawed specimens collected during South Georgia Groundfish Surveys in 2003, 2204 and 2005. Additional data was extracted from published descriptions of Muraenolepididae species. Full details are in Fitzcharles et al. (2021).

Data collection:

RMT8, Aggassiz Trawl, Beam trawl, Bottom trawl, Otter Trawl, Semi-pelagic trawl, Bottom Longline, Dropline.
