Synoicum adareanum sampling underwater video March 2011 Palmer Station Antarctica

These 21 video clips document the sampling events for the tunicate
Synoicum adareanum in support of a microbiome and biosynthetic gene
cluster study. The sampling strategy involved seven sites, including Janus
Island, Boneparte Point, Norsel Point, Delaca Island, Laggard Island,
Killer Whale Rocks and Litchfield Island, which are all in the Palmer
Archipeligo near the US Antarctic base at Palmer Station. At each site, at
least three lobes of S. adareanum were collected, resulting in a set of 63
samples for microbiome analysis. Metadata associated with each video clip
includes site, date, time, depth and water temperature. An associated pdf
file also contains the metadata along with the time the samples were
frozen.
