Description

Machine observations of marine organisms from ROV video surveys in Juvika B, Brudevika, Skardsteinane, Litlebø and Korsfura, Norway. Records include occurrence IDs, dates, scientific names, taxonomy, coordinates, depths and organism counts. The table mainly documents sponges, cnidarians and some fishes observed in western Norway.

Data Records

The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 22,553 records.

This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.
