Larvae and suspended benthic fauna collected with a plankton pump near deep-sea hydrothermal vents at the East Pacific Rise from 1998 to 2025

<p>Sampling for this 27-year time series of larval abundance was funded by multiple awards and projects.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>OCE-1947735 </strong>for project \"RUI: Collaborative: The Predictive Nature of Microbial Biofilms for Cuing Larval Settlement at Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vents\" (https://www.bco-dmo.org/project/851182).&nbsp;Funded pump collections for 2021-2025, sample processing, species identification and enumeration, and composite/harmonized data product.</p> <p><strong>OCE-1829773</strong> for project \"Trajectories in functional diversity after disturbance at vents on the East Pacific Rise\" (https://www.bco-dmo.org/project/783674).
