Samples of the scavenging amphipod assemblage have been collected at the Porcupine Abyssal Plain Sustained Observatory (PAP-SO) in the North Atlantic (48° 50' N 016° 30' W, 4850 m) for more than 30 years. Samples were collected by means of baited traps deployed at the PAP-SO between 1985 and 2016, covering a period of well-characterised changes in the upper ocean. From the 19 trap samples analysed, a total of 16 species were identified from 106,259 amphipod specimens.
