Abstract

This dataset consists of global raster maps indicating the habitat suitability for 7 suborders of cold water octocorals (Octocorallia found deeper than 50m). Maps present a relative habitat suitability index ranging from 0 (unsuitable) to 100 (highly suitable). Two maps are provided for each suborder (Alcyoniina, Calcaxonia, Holaxonia, Scleraxonia, Sessiliflorae, Stolonifera, and Subselliflorae). A publicly accessable low resolution map (grid size 10x10 arc-minutes) and a restricted access high resolution map (grid size 30x30 arc-seconds). Maps are geotiff format incorporating LZW compression to reduce file size.
Please contact the corresponding author (Chris Yesson) for access to the high resolution data.
