    • Benthic Epifauna Biomass and Abundance Data in the Chuckchi Sea, Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observing Network (AMBON) research cruise on the Norseman II from 2015-08-09 to 2015-09-03 (NCEI Accession 0177837)

    Metadata Updated: March 3, 2025

    This dataset contains benthic epifauna biomass and abundance data collected in the Chukchi Sea, U.S. Arctic during the 9 August - 3 September 2015 Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observing Network (AMBON) research cruise aboard the vessel Norseman II. The dataset contains two comma separated values (csv) files exported from Microsoft Excel. These data were generated from epifauna samples conducted using beam trawls during the research cruise. The data in the file named AMBON2015_epifauna_abundance_DWC.csv describes abundance per taxon of epibenthic invertebrates. The data in the file named AMBON2015_epifauna_biomass_DWC.csv describes biomass per taxon of epibenthic invertebrates. This dataset was transformed into a table structure using Darwin Core term names as column names.
