This dataset contains abundance (i.e., absolute number of speicmens/individuals) of ostracod genera collected during three cruises of the German Research Vessel Polarstern in the Atlantic Sector of the Southern Ocean. The cruises are EASIZ II (PS 48/ANT XV-3), ANDEEP I (PS 61/ANT XIX-3), ANDEEP II (PS 67/ANTXXII-3), and ANDEEP III (PS 67/ANTXXII-4). The samples related to the present file were all collected using an epibenthic sledge, described by (Brandt & Barthel, 1995; Brenke, 2005, see compelte references in Brandão et al., 2021, Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society). These ostracods are both benthic (most specimens collected) and bentho-pelagic (Halocyprididae, which in the case of the present dataset, swam just above the sea floor).
