Harant and concerns of the faunistic report on the Ascidiacea collected during the floristical and faunistical survey of Adolf Steuer on the coasts near Alexandria mainly with the vessel “El Hoot”. This dataset contains occurrence data of Ascidiacea in the coasts of Alexandria, Egypt. Temporal coverage for this dataset is not described in the historical paper but only in the preliminary report of the expedition. Thus, it is assumed that the sample collection was done in the autumn of 1933 (beggining from the end of August to end of November).The digitization of this dataset was done by LifewatchGreece team.

Notes and Memories No 8.http://ipt.medobis.eu/resource?r=egyptexpeditionpreliminaryrepor This digitized historical dataset is based on a faunistic report compiled from the expedition by the Fisheries Research Directorate in fishery grounds near Alexandria at 1933. This dataset is only a part of a large faunistical expedition (http://ipt.medobis.eu/resource?r=egyptexpeditionpreliminaryrepor) that took place in the coasts near Alexandria. The samples were collected by A. Steuer. For bottom samples almost exclusively a dredge with 20x70 cm opening was used. A single catch was made in a depth of 20 m with a large otter trawl in the eastern part of the Bay of Abukir. In general, the motor-launch of the Marine Laboratory "El Hoot" was used for dredging and a rowing boat in shallow water. All excursions were one-day trips. After the expedition, taxonomic identification of the samples was done by specialists. The results of this expedition were published in separate for each taxonomic group volumes. Thus, sampling methods were described in a preliminary report by A. Steuer. Ascidian species were identified by H. Harant.
