Species and supraspecies lists and richness of macrofauna from the Far Eastern seas, eastern Arctic seas, and adjacent waters of the Pacific and Arctic Oceans

These are primary and additional materials (tables and figures) for the article Volvenko, I. V., Gebruk, A. V., Katugin, O. N., Vinogradov, G. M., & Orlov, A. M. (2023). What can supraspecies richness tell us? Geographical Research, 1–9.
It shows that species and higher taxa richness strongly correlate with each other. Therefore, species richness can be assessed using genus, family, or order richness. However, supraspecies richness itself can tell us the same as species richness. Certain laws revealed at the species level could be discovered at the supraspecies level. The use of supraspecies richness in biogeography, ecology, palaeontology, and conservation is expedient and beneficial.
Supplement 1 contains tables with data: Table S1— Parameters of samples used to generate the checklists; Table S2—Species list; Table S3—Genus list; Table S4—Family list; Table S5—Order list; Table S6—Species and supraspecies richness, based on the data in tables S2–S5.
Supplement 2 contains additiona..., The source data for the present work were taken using mid-water and benthic trawls lined with a 10–12 millimetres (mm) mesh at the cod end from 1977 to 2018 in the seas of Japan and Okhotsk, Bering, Chukchi, East Siberian, Laptev seas and adjacent waters of the Pacific and Arctic Oceans at depths down to 2,200 m.
Based on a full data set (Table S1), the checklist was generated showing presence (+) or absence (–) of each object (identified to the level of species, genus, family, or order) in certain basins at benthic and/or pelagic stations. Objects missing in our samples but present in a basin based on published sources are marked with an asterisk (*) instead of a minus (–). Published sources on the occurrence of species and their taxonomic status include 137 titles, most found in our earlier publications, with several new sources added.
Based on the combined list, lists of species, genera, families, and orders were generated (Tables S2–S5), and for each, the number of cells without min..., , , # Species and supraspecies lists and richness of macrofauna from the Far Eastern seas, eastern Arctic seas, and adjacent waters of the Pacific and Arctic Oceans

**Table S1**. Samples parameters used to generate checklists (see Tables S2-S5).

Note: Maximum depth (with only few trawl hauls) is shown in parentheses; total sampling area was calculated as the sum of areas covered by trawl hauls; area of a trawl haul was calculated by multiplying trawl horizontal opening by trawling distance
