The data include pteropod (Limacina helicina) abundance data (in ind per m-3) or their presence (in year 2013). Pteropods were generally collected during nighttime sampling at 48 stations, using 333 μm mesh Bongo nets with 30- to 45-minute oblique tows from 100 m depth to the surface. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.
