During horizontal video transects in the Norwegian Sea pelagic in situ observation system (PELAGIOS), video was collected of the water column and fauna at 4 stations, from 50 m to 1200 m. Fauna were annotated and these annotations are here presented. They include ctenophores, medusae, siphonophores, crustaceans, fishes. The dataset presents diversity, distribution and abundance data. Abundances were estimated based on conversions presented in Hoving et al 2019 (see related to).
