The dataset comprises a total of 11,020 records of presence and absence for 58 benthic invertebrate taxa and fish from 190 trawl samples (Agassiz trawl, bottom trawl, Rauschert dredge, benthopelagic trawl). The dataset was collected on the shelf and slope of the eastern Weddell Sea and Lazarev Sea,...
