eDNA Sampling of Deep-Sea Fish Assemblages, Gascoyne Marine Park, Western Australia (2022)

eDNA samples were successfully obtained from deep-tow camera OCD (openclose device) single deployments at 23 sites (n=23), where each site represented one discrete depth, but sites ranged across several water depths categorized as continental shelf (0200m; n=6), shelf break to mid-slope (2001000m; n=5), and mid-slope to abyss (10004000m; n=12). The deep- tow camera OCD eDNA transects were paired to trawl sampling at the same depth and sites conducted as close as possible to the line and length of the OCD transects.The data has been acquired on the following RV Investigator voyage IN2022_V05 with links to additional metadata, datasets, events, deployments, publications etc.If this data has been used in any products, please acknowledge with the following: We acknowledge the use of the CSIRO Marine National Facility (https://ror.org/01mae9353) in undertaking this research.

本研究成功采集23个站位（n=23）的环境DNA（environmental DNA, eDNA）样本，样本来源于深拖相机开合装置（openclose device, OCD）的单次布放作业。每个站位对应单一固定水深，所有站位覆盖三类水深区间：大陆架（0~200米，n=6）、陆架坡折至中坡（200~1000米，n=5）以及中坡至深渊（1000~4000米，n=12）。
深拖相机开合装置的环境DNA样带与同站位同水深的底拖网采样进行了配对采样，后者的作业航线与样带的线路及长度尽可能保持一致。
本数据集采集自“调查者号”（RV Investigator）科考航次IN2022_V05，相关附加元数据、数据集、科考事件、布放记录及发表文献等均可通过对应链接获取。
