Description

This database is the result of an international collaboration effort to collect specimens of the Harpagifer genus throughout its geographical distribution in the Southern Ocean. More than 40 collection locations are incorporated along 3 biogeographic macro-zones (southern South America, sub-Antarctic Islands and Antarctica). Records are individualized by specimen, comprising more than 850 animals corresponding to 8 nominal species of the Harpagifer genus in the Southern Ocean. The purpose of this resource is to complement the molecular, taxonomic and biogeographic studies that are being carried out based on these specimens.

Purpose

This dataset was created within the framework of the doctoral thesis of the principal investigator. The main objective of the data set is to complement the research on the biogeography of the Harpagifer genus that is currently being carried out in the Molecular Ecology Laboratory of the University of Chile in order to contribute to the general knowledge of the biogeography of the fauna of the Ascent Ocean.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

This dataset gathers several sampling efforts made between 2004 and 2019 in different locations from west side of Antarctic Peninsula (i.e.Doumer Island and Margarite Bay) and the South Shetland Islands (i.e. King George Island, Deception Island and Greenwich Island); the Scotia Arc Islands (Signy Island and South Georgia); sub-Antarctic Islands (Marion Island, Kerguelen Island and Crozet Island); and southern South America, including Pacific coast of Patagonia and Falkland Islands.

Sampling

Due to the fact that the sampling was carried out by various groups of researchers, the sampling methodology presents variations related to field team and the particular conditions of each collection site. With this in mind, we can generalize the sampling protocol as described in "Methods steps".

Quality Control

Records lacking precise geographic location (coordinates) were assigned georeferences by identification from the description (e.g. bay names, research stations) of the reported collection locality included in the relevant metadata.

Method steps

Field sampling: Animals were collected by hand in intertidal pools during low tide periods and by SCUBA diving between -1 and -15 meters deep. In some (minor) cases, samples were obtained by bottom trawl (not deeper that -60 m). After collection, live animals were anesthetized and preserved in ethanol 95%. GPS position were recorded for each sample location.

This dataset has been developed with the support of the following projects: Conicyt Ph.D. Grant 21140632; INACH DG-03_16; PIA CONICYT ACT172065 (GAB); FONDECYT 1151336; Conicyt Ph.D. Grant 2114063; PIA CONICYT APOYO CCTE AFB170008; FONDECYT 11140087;Projects: IPEV Nº 1044 (Proteker), FONDECYT 1161358. FONDECYT Post-Doctoral Project 3190482; Conicyt Ph.D. Grant 21181000; Conicyt Ph.D. Grant 21151192. INACH RG1817.

Taxonomic Coverages

This dataset comprises 8 species of the genus Harpagifer. All records are reported at the species level.

Harpagifer bispinis
common name: Magellan spiny plunderfish rank: species
Harpagifer palliolatus
rank: species
Harpagifer antarcticus
common name: Antarctic spiny plunderfish rank: species
Harpagifer georgianus

Geographic Coverages

The dataset comprises three macro-geographic regions of the Southern Ocean: southern South America (Pacific coast of Patagonia and Falkland Islands), sub-Antarctic islands (South Georgia, Marion Island, Kerguelen Island and Crozet), and Antarctica (Antarctic Peninsula, South Shetland Islands and Signy Island). The northern end of the geographic coverage in South America is located south of the gulf of Penas, while the southern limit of the sampling range corresponds to Carvajal Base on Adelaide Island, Antarctica.
