Data were generated as part of the North Sea Midwater Ring Net (MIK) survey [1], an ichthyoplankton survey conducted at night-time during the quarter 1 (Q1) International Bottom Trawl Survey (IBTS), aboard the Danish R/V DANA (DTU Aqua) and the Swedish R/V Svea (SLU). A total of 100 stations were investigated using a 13 m long Midwater Ring Net (MIK net) with an opening diameter of 2 m and a mesh size of 1.6 mm, which is 0.5 mm meshed for the last meter of the net and the cod end [2]. Samples were collected by double oblique hauls from the surfaceData in brief111100https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC11617868biostudies-literatureBiodiversity and distribution of gelatinous macrozooplankton in the North Sea and adjacent waters - dataset from winter 2022.PMC11617868Kohler LGWerner MJensen CJDHuwer BCieters LJaspers CfalseBiodiversity and distribution of gelatinous macrozooplankton in the North Sea and adjacent waters - dataset from winter 2022.The diversity and distribution of gelatinous macrozooplankton is described by presenting qualitative and quantitative data of the jellyfish and comb jelly community encountered in the North Sea and Skagerrak/Kattegat during January/February 2022.
