The Mediterranean Ocean Biodiversity Information System (MedOBIS) is a distributed system that allows you to search multiple datasets simultaneously for biogeographic information on marine organisms.

A dataset of Polychaeta collected from 4 major ports of Greece: Pireaus, Patra, Heraklion, Rhodes during the period 2020-2021. For this purpose, a netted frame and a suction sampler were used to sample the benthic fauna on artificial reefs (of concrete) and floating platforms. This work is part of the project AlienPorts.

Meiofaunal community responses to anthropogenic disturbance in Heraklion harbour (Crete, Greece, Eastern Med.). The dataset contains data on the community structure of nematodes and copepods at seventeen stations in relation with environmental variables

The nematode community structure from Malia Bay (north Crete, Aegean Sea) was investigated in order to provide a baseline for the benthic environment prior to the initiation of a domestic sewage outfall into the Bay.

Meiofaunal communities from the bathyal ecosystem of the Aegean Sea (Eastern Mediterranean). The dataset contains data on the community structure of nematodes from 7 stations (depth range 153 to 1772 m) which were sampled twice (September 1997 and March 1

Samples were collected in order to study the nematode communities from the eulittoral zone of a sandy beach on Crete (Greece, eastern Mediterranean) in relation to the physical parameters of the sediment and the degree of exposure to wave action.

This dataset contains occurrence records of subtidal polychaetes (Annelida) from two midlittoral rocky shore sampling sites in northern Crete (Greece).

A historical dataset, by Edward Forbes, Professor of Botany in King's College, London. This digitised report, requested by the British Association, refers to the Mollusca and Radiata inhabiting the Aegean and the Red Sea. The data upon which this report is founded have been entirely derived from a voyage of 18 months to the Aegean. The calculations have been based upon more than 100 fully recorded dredging operations in various depths and in many localities. The digitization process concerns the Appendix of the Report, which refers to the Examples of Dredging Papers, selected in order to show the associations of species in several regions. The numerous dredging operations on which this Report is founded were all registered in a similar manner.

Microplankton abundance at different stations in the euphotic zone of the Aegean Sea

This is a historical dataset that was published in 1939 by Chas.H. O’Donoghue, D.Sc. & Dora de Watteville,M.A and concerns the collection of es of Bryozoa collected during the floristical and faunistical survey of Adolf Steuer on the coasts near Alexandria mainly with the vessel “El Hoot”. The digitization of this dataset was done by LifewatchGreece team.Dates have been reported via the stations which have been digitized on the preliminary report(http://ipt.medobis.eu/resource?r=egyptexpeditionpreliminaryrepor).
