Copepods picked from a sediment trap (400 m depth) at the P3 observation site, Northeast, Scotia Sea, throughout 2018

The following dataset details the taxa of copepods present in a 378 m sediment trap located in the Northeast Scotia Sea, 52.80 degrees S, 40.14 degrees W, bottom depth 3748 m), as part of the Scotia Open Ocean Observatory programme (SCOOBIES, https://www.bas.ac.uk/project/scoobies/). The trap collected from late January to December 2018. With sampling periods ranging from 2 weeks to 1 month.
