Underway Environmental Monitoring and Shipboard Microbial Sequencing and Analysis

This project aims to develop a standardized workflow for shipboard marine ecological research by integrating underway environmental monitoring, onboard microbial sequencing and analysis, and an inference engine. Seawater microbial samples were collected by filtration at 15 stations in the waters around Sanya, the Pearl River Estuary, the Taiwan Strait, and Zhoushan. The dataset includes 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and shotgun metagenomic sequencing data. These data support the investigation of marine microbial community composition and functional potential in relation to environmental conditions, and the development of integrated monitoring and analysis approaches for marine ecological surveys.
