ABYSSLINE UKSRL Contract Area CCZ Megafauna 2013-2015: Ctenophora

This dataset describes the abyssal megafaunal annelid morphotypes observed during the two ABYSSLINE cruises (AB01/MV1313 - 2013 and AB02/TN319 - 2015) to the UKSRL polymetallic-nodule exploration contract area (UK-1) and the site EPIRB (~250 km east of the UK-1 area) in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone in the Pacific Ocean. These megafaunal annelids were recorded using ROV and AUV. There appear to be at least 5 distinct morphospecies identified by imagery. This dataset is from the paper: Amon D, Ziegler A, Drazen J, Grischenko A, Leitner A, Lindsay D, Voight J, Wicksten M, Young C, Smith C (2017) Megafauna of the UKSRL exploration contract area and eastern Clarion-Clipperton Zone in the Pacific Ocean: Annelida, Arthropoda, Bryozoa, Chordata, Ctenophora, Mollusca.
