This study aims to compare different metabarcoding sequences of commercially fished shrimps collected by tree counties on the North Brazil Shelf Large Marine Ecosystem

160 whole genomes sequences obtained from 160 individual fish samples representing about 100 different species present in Gulf of Lion, and bay of Biscay.

The eleven collected wild strains of T. lutea were compared phenotypically, in particular with regard to their pigment and lipid profiles. The genome of each T. lutea strain was also sequenced to investigate the genetic structure and genome organisation of this species. Collected data were summarized in a genome browser to provide easy-to-use support for the scientific community (https://genomes-catalog.ifremer.fr). This provides an important resource- to understand, exploit and predict the biodiversity of this species.

Distribution of catch from deep-sea impacting fishing on the North Atlantic (18°N to 76°N and 36°E to 98°W), for the period 2010-2015. The average of yearly fishing catch for the period 2010-2015 is displayed as an index on the ATLAS grid of 25km * 25km resolution. Source data originated from the Global Fisheries Landings V4.0 database. The dataset was filtered to select only the fishing gears that have an impact on large areas of the seafloor (dredges, bottom trawls, and Danish seines). Within each cell, all remaining catch records were summed to get the total catch rate of the considered year. This dataset was built to feed a basin-wide spatial conservation planning exercise, targeting the deep sea of the North Atlantic. The goal of this approach was to identify conservation priority areas for Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) and deep fish species, based on the distribution of species and habitats, human activities and current spatial management.

In order to better characterize the genetic diversity of Cetaceans and especially the common Dolphin from the Bay of Biscay, sequences from the variable mitochondrial control region were obtained from water samples acquired close to groups of dolphins.

Metabarcoding data were produced based on samples gathered at Ifremer where the DNA was extracted; PCR libraries were built at Ifremer and Genseq; libraries were sequenced at Novogene. The data to download contain: 1/d emultiplexed raw data, 2/ metadata, and 3) Scripts to process data and taxonomically assign DNA sequences 4) Rmarkdown to analyze communities.

Whole genome pooled sequencing of individuals from 4 populations and 3 different color phenotype in order to uncover the genetic variants linked to color expression in the pearl oyster P. margaritifera.

Planning units layers used for ATLAS EU prioritization scenarios on the North Atlantic (18°N to 76°N and 36°E to 98°W). This raster layer is designed on a grid of 25km * 25km resolution, that served to extract all the spatial data used prioritization. The 31 518 planning units (cells with value) corresponded to areas containing depths shallower or equal to 3500m, even if they could also contain deeper areas locally. For connectivity scenarios, only the planning units matching with the extent of available connectivity data were selected. One layer allocates planning units to the 13 geographical provinces (values ranging from 1 to 13) created for the purpose of prioritization. This dataset was built to feed a basin-wide spatial conservation planning exercise, targeting the deep sea of the North Atlantic. The goal of this approach was to identify conservation priority areas for Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) and deep fish species, based on the distribution of species and habitats, human activities and current spatial management.

Dart Seq data gathered on Blue Shark in the framework of the PSTBS-IO project supported by funding from FAO, CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere, AZTI Tecnalia, Institut de recherche pour le développement (IRD), and Research Institute for Tuna Fisheries (RITF) and financial assistance of the European Union (GCP/INT/233/EC – Population structure of IOTC species in the Indian Ocean), and POPSIZE project supported by FEAMP (2014-2020 UE N°508/2014), and Institut français de recherche pour l'Exploitation de la mer (Ifremer).

This dataset consists of metatranscriptomic sequencing reads corresponding to coastal micro-eukaryote communities sampled in Western Europe in 2018 and 2019.
