Synoicum adareanum sampling underwater video March 2011 Palmer Station Antarctica

These 21 video clips document the sampling events for the tunicate Synoicum adareanum in support of a microbiome and biosynthetic gene cluster study. The sampling strategy involved seven sites, including Janus Island, Boneparte Point, Norsel Point, Delaca Island, Laggard Island, Killer Whale Rocks and Litchfield Island, which are all in the Palmer Archipeligo near the US Antarctic base at Palmer Station. At each site, at least three lobes of S. adareanum were collected, resulting in a set of 63 samples for microbiome analysis. Metadata associated with each video clip includes site, date, time, depth and water temperature. An associated pdf file also contains the metadata along with the time the samples were frozen.

本数据集涵盖21段视频片段，记录了被囊动物Synoicum adareanum的采样过程，以支撑一项微生物组与生物合成基因簇相关研究。本次采样共设置7个点位，包括雅努斯岛、波拿巴角、诺塞尔角、德拉卡岛、拉加德岛、逆戟鲸岩与利奇菲尔德岛，上述点位均位于帕尔默群岛，临近美国设于南极的帕尔默站科考基地。在每个采样点位，研究人员均采集至少3份Synoicum adareanum的叶状组织样本，最终得到共计63份用于微生物组分析的样本。每段视频关联的元数据包含采样点位、日期、时间、采样深度与水体温度。配套的PDF文件同样收录了上述元数据，以及样本冷冻封存的具体时间。
