version 2005.1 (12 May 2005)
SeamountsOnline holds records of species that have been collected
from underwater seamounts, guyots and ridges, along with accessory information
about when, where and how the samples were collected.
The contents of SeamountsOnline is constantly growing as we find and
incorporate new sources of data. At
present, the system holds 1289 records from 231 seamounts
(but see A Caution on Seamount
Data) The specific data sources from which SeamountsOnline
acquired data are listed below.
For information about the holdings on a particular seamount or area
of interest, go to the Search for Samples feature on the menu bar.
