Larvae collected near Mariana Back-Arc hydrothermal vents in 2010

Abstract

This dataset provides the counts for larvae, identified to varying levels of taxonomic granularity, collected near Mariana Back-Arc hydrothermal vent sites (Snail, Archaean, and Urashima) in 2010 on cruise YK10-11 aboard R/V Yokosuka. Samples were collected using large-volume plankton pumps and sorted morphologically under a dissecting microscope. The larval counts data table is partially aligned to a Darwin Core occurrence table, and the sampling events data table is partially aligned to a Darwin Core event table. Samples were sorted completely, thus concentrations per taxon may be derived from the counts and volume filtered.
