Description

Point observations of benthic organisms, substrate and depth recorded from remotely operated vehicle (ROV) video transects on the Stortorgnes ridge, Trøndelag county, Norway, in November 2025. Each record gives position, depth, substrate, organism group, estimated abundance and comments on identified species.
