Cetacea of the Southern Ocean There are 26 species of Cetacea 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 26 total species, 23 of these species (88%) have COI barcodes (from this or any ocean). There are a total of 1342 "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 26 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 26 total species in this region, 3 species do not have any COI barcodes (from any region).

Barcoding progress summary for the Southern Ocean region, out of a total of 26 possible species:
