Abstract:
Zip file containing CPR observations of taxa that are gelatinous and the associated taxa list from the North Atlantic between 1958 and 2020, sample level data (each sample being 1 row, equating to approx. 10 nautical miles of tow, 3m3 of filtered seawater). There are two csv files, the first contains the taxa observed (where and when), the second contains the taxa names and their ID used within the CPR Survey. CPR data is collected according to standard CPR methodology, see Richardson et al. 2006, Prog in Oceanog 68. 27-74. Taxa included are:
452 'Siphonophora'
977. Salpidae
978. Doliolidae
10589 'Cnidaria tissue'
10532 Nematocysts (+)

NOTE: Not all of these taxa have been consistently looked for throughout this time-series
