Description:
Although the oceanic widespread pelagic tunicate Soestia zonaria has been studied for more than a century, little ecological information exists. Soestia primarily occurs in tropical to warm-temperate regions. Soestia specimens were collected in 2008 and 2021 during two research expeditions (EXPORTS cruise to the Northeast Atlantic and TAN0806 over the Chatham Rise, New Zealand) using MOCNESS-1 net and large midwater trawl with maximum sampling depths of 1000 m. In total, 140 Soestia specimens (oral-atrial length: 7–54 mm) were analysed for biomass parameters (wet weight, dry weight, ash-free dry weight, water content, organic content) and stoichiometry (carbon and nitrogen content, carbon-to-nitrogen ratio).
