Cnidaria of the Arctic

There are 259 species of Cnidaria that are commonly found in the Arctic.

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 259 total species, 138 of these species (53%) have COI barcodes (from this or any ocean).
  • There are a total of 2876 "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 Arctic region):
  • Of the 259 total species, 0 of these species (0%) have Arctic-collected COI barcodes.
  • There are a total of 0 "Arctic-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 259 total species in this region, 121 species do not have any COI barcodes (from any region).

     Barcoding progress summary for the Arctic region, out of a total of 259 possible species:
