We combined mitochondrial Cox1 barcoding of some mussel specimens from both sides of the Atlantic (American vs European/African margins) with larval dispersal trajectories simulated from the VIKING20X model of the Atlantic circulation at a spatial scale not yet investigated. Larval dispersal modelling data correspond to transports of larvae over one year in surface waters from 21 geographic localities over 5 consecutive years (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019) and 5 spawning dates (November, December, January, February and March) per year. Genetic data correspond to the geo-referenced sequences obtained for the 4 mussel species from some of the localities where larvae have been released during the modelling approach. false Deep-sea seep mussels larval dispersal modelling experiment, released at -1200.0 m in SWIM fault (SWIM), NE Atlantic margin on 2017-02-01 fid 1 1 xsd:int obs 1 1 xsd:int traj 1 1 xsd:int age 1 1 xsd:int alive 1 1 xsd:int speed_param 1 1 xsd:int temp 1 1 xsd:double time 1 1 xsd:dateTime z 1 1 xsd:double location 1 1 gml:PointPropertyType
