Actinopteri of the North Atlantic

There are 2921 species of Actinopteri that are commonly found in the North Atlantic.

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 2921 total species, 2127 of these species (72%) have COI barcodes (from this or any ocean).
  • There are a total of 62915 "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 North Atlantic region):
  • Of the 2921 total species, 0 of these species (0%) have North Atlantic-collected COI barcodes.
  • There are a total of 0 "North Atlantic-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 2921 total species in this region, 794 species do not have any COI barcodes (from any region).
