Rafting communities on pelagic Sargassum and floating marine debris in the Sargasso Sea

Pelagic Sargassum and floating marine debris were collected during cruise MSM41 of the German research vessel Maria S. Merian in April 2015 in the Sargasso Sea, western subtropical North Atlantic. In total 39 debris samples and 42 Sargassum samples were taken and characterized. The associated biota...
