Organisms identified from OFOBS images from PS118 Profiles 6_9 (Weddell Sea) and 69 (Powell Basin), April - May 2019

This dataset contains the object ID, morphotaxonomic name, and approximate size (in mm) of over 70,000 organisms identified from select Ocean Floor Observation and Bathymetry System (OFOBS) images from the cruise PS118 to the Weddell Sea from April - May 2019. Images were collected for assessing epibenthic megafauna communities and establishing temporal baselines for future studies.

This work has been supported by Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Independent Research Fellowship NE/S014756/1, awarded to EM. TK is funded by a Cambridge International and Newnham College Scholarship, administered by Cambridge Trust. RW and HG are funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Future Leaders Fellowship MR/ W01002X/1 "The past, present and future of unique cold-water benthic (seafloor) ecosystems in the Southern Ocean" awarded to RW. HG is also funded by BIOPOLE, funded by the NERC, under National Capability Science Multi-Centre award scheme (NC-SM2).
