Dataset: Copepod Pressure Vessel Experiments from samples collected from the East Pacific Rise during ROV SuBastian deployments and R/V Falkor (too) cruise FKt230627 in June-July 2023

Abstract

These data show results from LT50 experiments from deep-sea hydrothermal vent copepods (family Dirivultidae) living associated with pompeii worm and mussel/tubeworm habitats at the 9°50’ North East Pacific Rise. Specimens were collected with a ROV at the vent sites Tica, Biovent and Bio9 in ~2500 meters water depth during expedition FKt230627 in July 2023. Experiments were performed onboard the research vessel R/V Falkor(too). Copepods were transferred to glass vials which were then placed into ...
