Echinodermata of the Southern Ocean

There are 559 species of Echinodermata that are commonly found in the Southern Ocean.

Information on the COI barcoding status of these species is presented in the table below.
MODE
A		 All available COI barcodes for this taxa group (collected from any ocean and/or without geo-referencing):
  • Of the 559 total species, 224 of these species (40%) have COI barcodes (from this or any ocean).
  • There are a total of 5478 "any ocean" COI barcode records available for this ocean and taxa group.
  • All available taxa group COI barcodes will be included in the Mode A downloads.
    • MODE
    B    		 Regional COI barcodes for this taxa group (includes only those collected in the Southern Ocean region):
  • Of the 559 total species, 0 of these species (0%) have Southern Ocean-collected COI barcodes.
  • There are a total of 0 "Southern Ocean-collected" COI barcodes available for this taxa group.
  • In the map to the right, Red Stars show sampling locations of the COI barcodes in the Mode B download.
    • Uncoded
    Species    		 Of the 559 total species in this region, 335 species do not have any COI barcodes (from any region).

     Barcoding progress summary for the Southern Ocean region, out of a total of 559 possible species:
