Description: The dataset gathers metadata of crustacean specimens preserved at the CNR ISMAR in Venice. The collection contains benthic invertebrates collected during community analysis studies for the biological characterisation of the Lagoon of Venice, and focused on biological diversity either as basic knowledge or as a contribution to understand the mechanisms regulating the lagoon ecosystem biodiversity. The study focused on the Dese estuary, a distinctive habitat inside the northern Venice lagoon area and characterised not only by wide tidal amplitudes, but also by the Dese River flow, being the main tributary into the lagoon and an important source of urban and agriculture pollution. The estuary (about 14 km) extends from Dese outflow in the lagoon to the Lido inlet, forming a narrow, meandering channel (canale di Burano) between sal marshes and mud flats. In the framework of the RI DiSSCo and the ITINERIS project, the crustacean samples underwent curation, cataloging and digitisation in order to make virtually available the NSCs to any level of audience simplifying access and sharing information.
