Measurements on Japetella diaphana and Vampyroteuthis infernalis (size, weight, beak, oocyte)

The dataset contain biological information (sex, sizes, weights, beak increments number) from Japetella diaphana and Vampyroteuthis infernalis collected during research cruises from different institutions (GEOMAR, NOAA-NWFSC, MBARI). The data is part of Richard Schwarz his Ph.D. thesis on age and growth of deep-sea and Antarctic octopods. The data sets were used in the publication "Life history traits of the deep-sea pelagic cephalopods Japetella diaphana and Vampyroteuthis infernalis" (doi.org/10.1016/j.dsr.2020.103365).

The main dataset is doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.924103 which contains biological and capture data of the specimens used in the study. Information in all datasets can be linked using the specimens "ID" number.
