Pelagic Tunicates of the Santos Basin

<p>The data are part of the Environmental Characterization Project of the Santos Basin, funded by Petrobras. They were collected through stratified oblique trawls using a net with a mesh size of 200 micrometers, from the surface to depths of up to 2400 meters throughout the Santos Basin. A total of 29 species of pelagic tunicates from both classes of the group (Appendicularia and Thaliacea) were found. These data were published in the journal <em>Marine Biodiversity</em> under the DOI: <a href="https://doi.org/10.1007/s12526-024-01494-w" target="_new" rel="noopener">https://doi.org/10.1007/s12526-024-01494-w</a>.</p>
