Description

A dataset of Polychaeta and Amphipoda collected from 4 major ports of Greece: Pireaus, Patra, Heraklion, Rhodes during the period 2020-2021. For this purpose, a netted frame and a suction sampler were used to sample the benthic fauna on artificial reefs (of concrete) and floating platforms. This work is part of the project AlienPorts.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

Greece Major Ports (Heraklion, Patra, Rhodes, Pireaus)

Sampling

A netted frame and a suction sampler were used to collect the samples from 25*25cm dimensioned quadrats on artificial reefs (of concrete) and floating platforms.

Quality Control

WoRMS match taxa tool was used to validate the accepted scientific names, their authorships and their corresponding IDs. LifeWatch & EMODnet Biology QC tool was used to assess to what extend the dataset meets the EMODnet Biology Data Quality Criteria.

Additional info

Environmental parameters (temperature, salinity, pH and dissolved oxygen) will also be associated to this dataset.
