Kiwa tyleri from the East Scotia Ridge hydrothermal vents, Southern Ocean during RRS James Cook cruise JC042

Biometric and reproductive data of Kiwa tyleri are recorded in five common separated value (CSV) files and described in associated metadata submission CSV files. The data results from analysis of high-definition video imagery and specimens of Kiwa tyleri which were collected from the East Scotia Ridge during six biological sampling dives. Three biological sampling dives to collect specimens were conducted at the northern E2 vent field between 20th and 25th January 2010. A further three biological sampling dives to collect specimens and record HD video imagery were conducted at the southern E9 vent field between 30th January and 2nd February 2010. The dives were undertaken during the RRS James Cook research cruise JC042 (7th January - 24th February 2010) using the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Isis. The Isis ROV was equipped with a high-definition video camera and a suction sampler. Discrete spatial samples were targeted to investigate the fine-scale spatial variation in reproductive biology. The dataset was produced by Leigh Marsh, Jon Copley, Paul Tyler and Sven Thatje from the University of Southampton.泰勒基瓦蟹（Kiwa tyleri）的生物测量与繁殖数据被收录于五个逗号分隔值（CSV）文件中，相关说明则存储于关联的元数据提交CSV文件内。本数据集的数据来源于6次生物采样潜次中采集自斯科舍海岭东部的泰勒基瓦蟹标本与高清视频影像的分析结果。2010年1月20日至25日，研究团队在北部E2热液喷口区开展了3次标本采集生物采样潜次；2010年1月30日至2月2日，又在南部E9热液喷口区完成了额外3次标本采集及高清视频影像录制的生物采样潜次。本次潜次依托RRS詹姆斯·库克号（RRS James Cook）科考航次JC042（2010年1月7日—2月24日）执行，所用遥控水下机器人（Remotely Operated Vehicle，ROV）为伊西斯号（Isis），该ROV搭载了高清摄像机与抽吸采样器。本次研究选取离散空间样本，旨在探究繁殖生物学特征的精细空间变异规律。本数据集由南安普顿大学的Leigh Marsh、Jon Copley、Paul Tyler与Sven Thatje构建完成。
