North Atlantic and Arctic Cumacea sampled during the IceAGE (2011) and PASCAL (2017) project

This datasets contributes to a better understanding of diversity in small peracarid crustacean and their possible distribution patterns in remote deep-sea regions. It contains specimen ocurrence records of the taxon Cumacea sampled with diverse benthic gears (epibenthic sledges, box corer) on the Yermak Plateau north of Svalbard during the PASCAL project with RV Polarstern in 2017 and during the IceAGE expedition IceAGE1 in 2011 in deep sea regions of the Nordic GIN-Seas (Greenland, Iceland and Norwegian Sea).

本数据集有助于深化对小型囊虾类甲壳动物（Peracarid crustacean）多样性及其在偏远深海区域潜在分布格局的认知。数据集收录了涟虫目（Cumacea）类群的标本出现记录，相关标本采集自两处科考海域：其一为2017年随“极星号”（RV Polarstern）执行PASCAL项目期间，在斯瓦尔巴群岛以北的叶尔马克高原（Yermak Plateau），使用底栖生物拖网（epibenthic sledge）、箱式采泥器（box corer）等多种底栖采样设备获取的样本；其二为2011年IceAGE1航次（IceAGE expedition IceAGE1）在北欧GIN海（即格陵兰海、冰岛海与挪威海，Greenland, Iceland and Norwegian Sea）深海区域采集的样本。
