Description

ISPRA-CBM is a collection of over 1000 specimens belonging to polychaetes, mollusks, crustaceans and echinoderms and sampled in the soft sediments of the marine and coastal Italian environments by the Research group of Laboratory of Benthic Ecology of the Environmental Institute for Protection and Research (ISPRA). The present marine macrozoobenthic dataset contains a selection of 139 specimens belonging to polychaete annelids (63), mollusks (25), crustaceans (40) and echinoderms (11) stored in labeled vials and preserved in ethanol. The dataset covers the whole Italian marine waters (Mediterranean Sea).

Project Data

ITINERIS is coordinated by the CNR (National Research Council). It started in November 2022, and during 30 (+6) months will carry out an ensemble of cross-disciplinary actions across the different environmental sub-domains, with the main aim to build the network of the Italian environmental Research Infrastructures, connect it to the user community and establish access, trough the ITINERIS HUB, to the vast array of knowledge, data, analytical tools, and service produced by the participating RIs.
