Description

Description of biological samples collected during deep-sea campaigns operated by the French oceanographic fleet since 2011. These data are acquired by underwater devices during the campaigns and then stored by Ifremer's CNDO (Centre National de Donnees Oceanographiques) Sismer. These data are mainly located in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and around mainland France.

Purpose

This dataset is an aggregation of data obtained from various cruises. For more information on the context of each cruise, other data acquired during the cruise and associated scientific articles, please consult the French Oceanographic Cruises catalog :https://campagnes.flotteoceanographique.fr/search

Sampling Description

Study Extent

This dataset is an aggregation of data obtained from various cruises, the study extent varies from cruise to cuise. For information on the study extent of each cruise, please consult the French Oceanographic Cruises catalog : https://campagnes.flotteoceanographique.fr/search

Sampling

Most of the samples in this dataset were acquired by underwater devices. For information on the sampling description of each cruise, please consult the French Oceanographic Cruises catalog : https://campagnes.flotteoceanographique.fr/search

Method steps

  1. Sample information is collected on board using dedicated desktop software. The database produced by this software is then checked by the scientists and transmitted to Sismer for integration into a permanent database. Additional data, such as detailed taxonomic identification, obtained in the laboratory once the campaign is over, can be added from time to time.
