Sampling information and morphological characteristics of 11 deep-sea species. These samples were captured from depths ranging between 1,218 and 7,730 m, spanning locations from the Mariana Trench to the Middle Indian Ocean by the manned submersible Shenhai Yongshi (Deep-Sea Warrior) and the manned submersible Fendouzhe (Striver) as well as the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) TIAN YA (Skyline) during our expeditions aboard the mothership TAN SUO YI HAO (exploration I) and TAN SUO ER HAO (exploration II).
