COI data from: Invasive species detection along coastal harbours in northern region of Vastra Gotaland 2024

Data Records

The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 22,015 records.

1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.

This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Sampling Methods

Plankton samples were collected using an Apstein 50 plankton net with 100 μm mesh size (Hydro-Bios, Germany), by lowering the net 1-2 meters above the bottom and retrieving it at ~1 meter per second. This was done 2-3 times per sampling site until enough plankton material had been collected. The collected material was then transferred to a plankton sieve with a mesh size of 90 μm and cleaned with local seawater before being transferred to a 15 ml sterile Falcon tube. To preserve the samples, the Falcon tube was filled with 99% ethanol and stored in the refrigerator until DNA extraction. The water samples were collected using a Ruttner collector (1.7 L) where water masses from two sites were pooled. For each site, water was collected from ~1-2 meters above the bottom and surface water and mixed in a bucket that was previously sterilized with 10% chlorine, washed with ethanol and rinsed three times with local seawater before each sampling. New gloves and a new sterile 60 ml syringe were used at each site to filter between 1140 and 1800 ml of water through a PureFlo disk filter (GF/PES 5.0/0.8 μm, Saint-Gobain Filter, USA) to capture environmental DNA. The filters were then immediately frozen in a Dry Shipper cooled with liquid nitrogen (-196°C) and then stored at -20°C when returned to the laboratory until DNA extraction.
