Scavenging amphipod abundance at trap stations during SONNE cruises SO239 and SO242/1, Clarion Clipperton Fracture Zone (Pacific) and DISCOL area (Peru Basin)

This data set summarises the scavenging Amphipoda data which were collected using baited trap sampling from two abyssal basins in 2015. Sampling was carried out at eight stations in the eastern Clarion-Clipperton Zone, and at five stations in the Discol experimental area, during expeditions SO239 and SO242/1 respectively. The purpose of this sampling was to construct a biodiversity assessment and to investigate the ecological impacts of deep-sea mining in the Pacific Ocean, by comparison of the Clarion-Clipperton Zone assemblage to this a smaller-scale disturbance proxy site.

本数据集汇总了2015年通过诱饵陷阱采样法从两个深海盆地采集的食腐端足类（Amphipoda）数据。本次采样分别于SO239和SO242/1科考航次期间，在克拉里昂-克利珀顿区东部的8个采样站位以及Discol实验区的5个采样站位开展。本采样工作旨在通过对比克拉里昂-克利珀顿区的物种种群组合与该小型干扰替代站点，构建太平洋深海采矿相关的生物多样性评估体系，并探究深海采矿对太平洋海域的生态影响。
