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).
Purpose
This dataset is aimed to be part of a collective digitization effort carried out within a ITINERIS Project training course.

Project

ITINERIS - Italian Integrated Environmental Research Infrastructures System

Identifier: CUP B53C22002150006

Content: 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.

Funding: EU – Next Generation EU PNRR - Mission 4 “Education and Research” – Component 2: “From research to business” – Investment 3.1: “Fund for the realisation of an integrated system of research and innovation infrastructures”.
