Abstract:

This dataset provides raw morphometric measurements of the zooids of 13 bryozoan species (Bryozoa: Stenolaemata) collected from 45° 47.89' S, 170° 54.5' E; 46°54.87' S, 168°13.06' E and 47°07.70' S, 168°10.79' E from the depths of 40-90 m. Animals were cultured in isothermic room and feeding polypides with fully extended lophophores were imaged with a camera and a dissecting microscope.

I recorded skeletal and soft-body traits. Most are quantitative: length and width of the zooid tube at the level of the orifice, aperture length and width, mouth diameter, tentacle crown diameter, crown height, tentacle number, full tentacle length and tentacle length visible above aperture, as well as length of the longest and shortest tentacles for obliquely-truncated lophophores. Others are qualitative: tentacle crown symmetry and curvature, polypide condition/age and colony growth form. All measurements are reported in micrometers.

Morphometric terminology follows Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology part G (Boardman & Cheetham, 1983).
