En este conjunto de datos se describe la composición y la variación temporal de la ictiofauna asociada a una pradera de fanerógamas marinas ubicada en el cayo Dos Mosquises Sur, PN. Archipiélago Los Roques. Estos datos provienen de un proyecto de tesis de grado titulado: Estructura trófica de la comunidad de peces asociada a una pradera  de fanerógamas marinas en el Parque Nacional Archipiélago Los Roques. Se realizaron dos muestreos Agosto- y Enero-2006, en cada uno se realizaron capturas en 4 horarios: 6:00, 12:00, 18:00 y 24:00. Las capturas fueron realizadas con redes de pesca y una rastra manual bentónica. La pradera está compuesta por dos especies de fanerógamas: Thalassia testudinum y Halodule wrightii. Se identificaron 51 especies de peces pertenecientes a 29 familias y 10 Ordenes. La familia más abundante fue Haemulidae, representada fundamentalmente por la especie Haemulon flavolineatum. Se observó una variación temporal (diaria y mensual) en la riqueza y composición de especies. Durante el mes de agosto se capturó un mayor número  de especies y se reportó una mayor abundancia con respecto al mes de enero.
Bathynomus giganteus de la Colección de Crustáceos del Museo de Historia Natural Marina de Colombia - Makuriwa

Temporal coverage: 2008/2019

El Museo de Historia Natural Marina de Colombia (MHNMC) alberga la colección más importante de crustáceos marinos del país. Los ejemplares se han recolectado como producto de múltiples proyectos desarrollados tanto por el INVEMAR, como por investigadores externos y otras entidades. La recolección se ha hecho por medio de técnicas como el arrastre bentónico, uso de nasas y trampas. Uno de los crustáceos que hacen parte de la colección es el isópodo gigante Bathynomus giganteus. Este organismo se encuentra en las aguas profundas del Atlántico tropical, incluyendo el Golfo de México, el Caribe y el Océano Índico (Shih 1972). Se desarrolla en áreas que oscilan entre los 300 y los 2000 m de profundidad (Obis 2021) y tiene una alimentación oportunista, centrada principalmente en carroña (Shih 1972). Se pueden identificar varios estadios de desarrollo en B. giganteus. El primer estadio, conocido como manca, se caracteriza por la falta de desarrollo del séptimo par de patas, en los individuos jóvenes, el séptimo par de patas está presente pero aún es pequeño, mientras que en los adultos se ha desarrollado por completo (Barradas-Ortiz, 2003). Las mancas de B. giganteus no pueden ser sexadas. En algunos casos, es posible identificar el sexo de los juveniles, y en los adultos, se distingue al macho por la presencia de penes en el esternito del séptimo pereionito, mientras que en la hembra se observan oosteguitos en la base de los pereiópodos I a V (Barradas-Ortiz, 2003). En otras especies de isópodos gigantes se ha reportado el consumo de macroalgas, estas últimas, son organismos clave en el secuestro del carbono en océanos. De ahí que, se espera que B. gigantes también cumpla este rol y por lo tanto resulta de interés para este proyecto. 

Los individuos de B. giganteus que reposan en la Colección de Crustáceos del MHNMC fueron recolectados en el Mar Caribe colombiano entre 2008-06-06 y 2019-01-11 y se encuentran almacenados en lotes que pueden contener uno o más individuos. El material fue consultado entre 2022-07-25 y 2022-08-03 para realizar el registro de medidas morfológicas a los ejemplares. El presente recurso contiene una extensión de datos que detalla las medidas de longitud, peso, sexo y estadío de desarrollo de 308 individuos pertenecientes a 46 lotes de la especie B. giganteus conservados dicha colección biológica.

The collection includes 71 holotypes and 915 paratypes. Historical subcollections include the Arid Zone Collection from Central Australia.

The majority of the specimens have been fixed in 10% formalin prior to being transferred into 70% ethanol for long term storage. Recently, frozen and ethanol-fixed tissue samples have been kept for genetic studies.

Specimens can be lent to workers at other institutions upon application and the MAGNT also welcomes visiting researchers.

The collection was established in 1981 and continues to the present.
CSIRO Survey TT200801 - ROV Jason cruise tn228: South and East of Tasmania

Keywords: Specimen, Occurrence, Metadata
Temporal coverage: 2008/2009

The TT 01/2008 survey was a follow up survey to the SS 01/2008 to sample beds of high quality live, sub-fossil and fossil corals off SE Tasmania, and to document and sample the communities in depths up to 4000 m using the deep-diving Remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Jason. 16 dives were completed in or close to areas in the South-east Commonwealth Marine Reserves; the ROV Jason spent almost 400 hours underwater, took over 36000 photographs and 300 hours of video of the deep-reef, and collected over 1000 biological specimens, most new to science.
The focus of the survey was collection of fossil corals (Desmophyllum sp.), description of habitats at depth between 700 and 4000 m depth and establishing two long-term monitoring sites in the Huon CMR (settlement plates). It explored and sampled on the near vertical slice in the earth's crust, known as the Tasman Fracture Zone, which drops from approximately 2000 metres to over 4000 metres. Jason was used to collect video, high definition still images (mosaiced images) and selective samples of fossil corals and invertebrate fauna.

Temporal coverage: 1989/1989, 1988/2017

Distribution records of sea cucumbers (Echinodermata, Holothuroidea) based on the collection stored at the Italian National Antarctic Museum (MNA, section of Genoa) is an occurrence type dataset published by Italian National Antarctic Museum (MNA).
The dataset comprises a total of 328 distributional records, each one corresponding to a voucher specimen stored at the Italian National Antarctic Museum (MNA) – Genoa section. These records originate from the sampling activities performed in the context of eleven different research projects that took place during 11 scientific polar expeditions conducted in the Ross Sea and the Antarctic Peninsula. In total, 89 different sampling events were conducted using a variety of sampling instruments and methodologies. The diversity in the scientific goals of each different research project do not allow to provide a quantitative dataset, also considering that many occurrences were gathered as by-catch, still providing basic metadata such as the geographic coordinates, sampling depth and date and a general description of the adopted sampling methodology. For this reason, this resource must be considered exclusively as a contribution to the distributional knowledge of Antarctic Holothuroidea, especially for the Ross Sea, where most of the occurrences are located, and with a special focus on the Terra Nova Bay area.
This dataset is published by Italian National Antarctic Museum (MNA) under the license CC-BY 4.0. Please follow the guidelines from the SCAR Data Policy (SCAR, 2022) when using the data. If you have any questions regarding this dataset, please contact us via the contact information provided in the metadata or via data-biodiversity-aq@naturalsciences.be. Issues with dataset can be reported at https://github.com/biodiversity-aq/data-publication/
The occurrences presented in this dataset originated from a multitude of different Antarctic projects funded by the Italian National Antarctic Research Program (PNRA) and one from the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI).  The publication of this data paper was funded by the Belgian Science Policy Office (BELSPO, contract n°FR/36/AN1/AntaBIS) in the Framework of EU-Lifewatch as a contribution to the SCAR Antarctic biodiversity portal (biodiversity.aq)
Australian Museum Ichthyology Collection

Keywords: Occurrence, Specimen
Temporal coverage: 1858/2016

As one would expect, the Fish Research Collection contains many adult and larval fish specimens. These are used by researchers worldwide.
The collection contains specimens from all around the world, but has large holdings of fishes from the deepsea and Indo-Pacific reefs as well as larval fishes, gobies and freshwater fishes from New South Wales.
Of particular importance are the fish type specimens. These are the specimens upon which the original scientific description of the relevant species was based. The Australian Museum fish type collection is one of the most important in the world, containing over 11,000 specimens, some of which date back well into the 1800s.
The majority of the collection has been fixed in 10% formaldehyde then transferred to 70% ethyl alcohol for long term storage. In recent years many frozen and alcohol-fixed tissues have been added to the collection for use in genetic studies.

Pelagic fish food web linkages, Queensland, Australia (2003-2005)

Keywords: Specimen, Occurrence
Temporal coverage: 2003/2005

This data was collected to primarily provide preliminary information on the diets of ten pelagic fish species common to the Northern Prawn Fishery, specifically to investigate any effects of prawn predation by pelagic fish. After the project was initiated the scope of the study was broadened to investigate the age, growth (by otoliths) and reproductive dynamics (by GSI and histology) of these species. Tissue samples from at about 100 specimens representing each species were also taken and stored in DMSO solution and is available for any researcher wishing to undertake a genetic stock structure study. This study was solely funded by CMR as a pilot study. As a result of limited funds, fish specimens were collected opportunistically from recreational fisher donations, commercial catches and from bycatch samples from scientific cruises. As a result, the capture location of the majority of specimens does not have a lat/long, and is generally only identified by the general area of capture (i.e. 'Weipa' or 'Gladstone'). The method of capture was recorded to the best of our knowledge (i.e. hook and line, gillnet etc), although actual gear specifications and shot information were generally not available.

New species and genera of colloniids from Indo-Pacific coral reefs, with the definition of a new subfamily Liotipomatinae n. subfam. (Turbinoidea, Colloniidae)

Keywords: Occurrence, Specimen
Temporal coverage: 1949/2007

The genus Liotipoma McLean &amp; Kiel, 2007, was proposed for a remarkable small-shelled gastropod genus from coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific that resemble the family Liotiidae Gray, 1850 in having fine axial lamellae and a thickened terminal lip, but differ in having the solid calcareous operculum of the family Colloniidae Cossmann, 1916. The genus was originally assigned to the otherwise Cretaceous subfamily Petropomatinae Cox, 1960 of the family Colloniidae, because the inner side of the operculum is multispiral, conical and projecting, as in the Mesozoic genera assigned to Petropomatinae. Here the genus Liotipoma is assigned to a new colloniid subfamily Liotipomatinae n. subfam. because its axial lamellae are unknown in the Cretaceous genera of Petropomatinae. Four genera are now recognised; all species are known from shell grit samples collected by diving or dredging at coral reefs from recent MNHN expeditions to New Caledonia, the Loyalty Islands, Espiritu Santo (Vanuatu) and Wallis Island, and also from LACM material from Fiji, Papua New Guinea, and the Marshall Islands. The most speciose genus is Liotipoma, with eight known species, seven of which are new and described here the largest known species is L. magna n. sp. from Santo, Vanuatu. Also described are: Depressipoma n. gen. with two new species from the Marshall Islands; Rhombipoma n. gen., with one new species from Rowley Shoals, northwestern Australia; and Paraliotipoma n. gen.,with one new species from Sea Horse Shoal, South China Sea. Although live-collected specimens are still unknown, sexual dimorphism in Liotipoma was reported for the type species when the genus was described. Here it is reported from four of the eight known species of that genus, expressed in expansion of the umbilical cavity as a brood chamber in the female shell, as previously reported in the families Liotiidae and Colloniidae. In two species the worn female shell shows an irregular degradation of the umbilical cavity, which is considered the effect of bearing a large egg mass and brood. For reasons unknown, female shells of most species of Liotipoma are much less frequent than male shells. Formal validation of Areneidae n. fam. is provided in an addendum to this paper.
