Ctenophore observations from ROV Doc Ricketts and Ventana dives conducted during the R/V Western Flyer MBARI DEEPC cruises off the California coast from 2016 to 2021.
Ctenophore observations were recorded during ROV Doc Ricketts during dives D856 to D920 (2016), D959 to D965 (2017) and 1240 to 1245 (2019 and 2020). Ctenophores collected with the ROV Ventana were from dives 4213 to 4275 (2019 and 2020) in Monterey Bay offshore of California from 200 to 4000 meters.
The data include the species or lowest classification possible along with the date, time, depth, and temperature where the organism was observed. The timestamp (TapeTimeCode) on the recorded tape is also provided when available. The data include measurements taken by the ROV on the way down and up.
