Cyanobacteria of the Southern Ocean

There are 8 species of Cyanobacteria 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 8 total species, 2 of these species (25%) have COI barcodes (from this or any ocean).
  • There are a total of 3 "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 8 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 8 total species in this region, 6 species do not have any COI barcodes (from any region).

     Barcoding progress summary for the Southern Ocean region, out of a total of 8 possible species:
    • There are COI barcodes for 2 species ( 25% coverage ), of which 0 species have barcodes sampled inside this region ( 0% coverage ).
      •
    • There are 12S barcodes for 0 species ( 0% coverage ), of which 0 species have barcodes sampled inside this region ( 0% coverage ). 
    • There are 16S barcodes for 5 species ( 62% coverage ), of which 2 species have barcodes sampled inside this region ( 25% coverage ).
    • There are 18S barcodes for 0 species ( 0% coverage ), of which 0 species have barcodes sampled inside this region ( 0% coverage ).
    • There are 28S barcodes for 0 species ( 0% coverage ), of which 0 species have barcodes sampled inside this region ( 0% coverage ).
