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.
