The dataset contains abundance and biomass data of four species of gelatinous zooplankton (<i>Mnemiopsis leidyi, Beroe ovata, Aurelia aurita, Pleurobrachia pileus</i>) obtained in October 2005 and October - November 2010 (32 stations in October 2005 and 98 stations in October - November 2010) in the Northwestern Black Sea.

Annotations of species recorded on video by Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) during dives performed in the Faial-Pico Channel in the Azores archipelago, Portugal. Videos were recorded between 80 and 250 meters depth.

Deep-sea sampling in 2009 onboard the R/V Sarmiento de Gamboa in the three Mediterranean basins. A combination of 2 samplers was used to collect the benthic megafauna: an otter-trawl Maireta system (OTMS) and an Agassiz dredge. The OTMS is a 1-warp benthic otter-trawl designed to work seamlessly on high depth grounds: its stretch mesh size at the cod-end is 40mm, with an outer cover of 12mm, to allow retrieval of small-sized fractions of megafauna. The net total length is 25m, with an horizontal opening of 12.7m and a vertical opening of 1.4m. Trawls were conducted at 2.6 to 2.8 knots. The Agassiz dredge had a 2.5 m horizontal opening and 1.2 m vertical opening, a net mesh size of 12 mm, and was trawled at 2.0 knots.
