This dataset provides abundance data for macrofaunal taxa determined from sediment samples collected around the Antarctic Peninsula. A minimum of three samples (cores) were taken at each station with a MUC10 multicorer or giant box corer during PS81. The whole sediment cores (top to bottom) were pre...
