Purpose
Abstract The expedition M63/2 dealt with species composition, biogeography and with diversity and dominance patterns along a latitudinal transect in the southeastern Atlantic ocean. Samples were gathered from more than 5000m depth in the northern Cape Basin, northern Angola Basin and Guinea Basin. Though bathymetry data were recorded, it was not the main focus of the cruise and no further information have been provided by the responsible party.
