Salp specimen log for genomic and transcriptomic study collected from ARSV Laurence M. Gould, Umitaka-Maru, R/V Polarstern LMG1110, UM-08-09, ANT-XXVII-2 in the Southern Ocean from 2009-2011 (Salp_Antarctic project)

Abstract

This dataset is a sample log of the Salpa thompsoni specimens used for genomic and transcriptomic analysis. Collections were from three cruises in the Southern Ocean. Collections were made in Summer of 2009 during a cruise of the Umitaka-Maru (UM-08-09) from off-shelf sites in the Indian Sector. During cruises of the ARSV Laurence M. Gould (LMG-1110) and R/V Polarstern (ANT-XXVII-2) samples were collected from on- and off-shelf regions of the Western Antarctic Peninsula Region and in Bransfield Strait during Spring and Summer 2011, respectively. Reported parameters include cruise id, region, season and area, location, number of samples collected, temperature, salinity, sampled depth range, and the depth of the water at the collection site. For a complete list of measurements, refer to the supplemental document 'Field_names.pdf', and a full dataset description is included in the supplemental file 'Dataset_description.pdf'.
