Description
Partial contribution from the British Oceanographic Data Centre's databases (see below for details on status). more

This initial contribution is a subset of BODC's current taxonomic data holdings and only includes taxonomic data related to water bottle samples collected mainly in open ocean waters. Future contributions will extend the coverage of the data submission to shelf seas and data derived from net hauls and benthic surveys and sampling.
