Data Set Description: This is a subset of the Deep Sea Coral Research and Technology Program’s National Database. The data set contains museum records of deepwater coral and sponge specimens in the California Academy of Sciences, Department of Invertebrate Zoology and Geology, Invertebrate Zoology Collection. The Museum has identified Robert Van Syoc: bvansyoc@calacademy.org as the Senior Collections Manager for Invertebrate Zoology. Changes to the original dataset may have been made to conform to the National Database Schema and for quality control purposes. Historically, the main geographic focus of the IZ collection has been, and greatly remains, the eastern Pacific region from Alaska to the Galapagos. The collection contains a large number of specimens collected in partnership with NOAA’s Alaska Fisheries Science Center and its scientific trawl surveys, as well as voucher specimens from the West Coast collected by NOAA’s Deep Sea Coral Research & Technology Program. Further information can be found at: https://www.calacademy.org/scientists/izg-collections
Collection methodogy details:
Specimens were collected using a variety of methods and gears.
