| Lineage | The Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS) is a web-based access point to information about the distribution and abundance of living species in the ocean. More than 20 OBIS nodes around the world connect 500 institutions from 56 countries. Collectively, they have provided over 45 million observations of nearly 120 000 marine species, from Bacteria to Whales, from the surface to 10 900 meters depth, and from the Tropics to the Poles. The collection methodology varies depending on source. |
