Description
This dataset was compiled by a. gathering data and taxonomic revision of polychaetes records from published literature, b. adding new species from sampling on the Gulf of Gabes Tidal channels, and c. from the systematic revision of the polychaetes collection deposited at the Institut National des Sciences et Technoligies de la mer (INSTM); which were confused with their congeneric species. The regional distribution of the species is Western and Central Mediterranean.
Data Records
The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 295 records.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Sampling Methods
Species records were acquired from the literature and from species collected in the tidal channels of the Gulf of Gabès (2016-2017), as well as from the re-examination of some species deposited in the collection of the Tunisian National Institute of Marine Sciences and Technologies. This inventory, reviews the taxonomy, nomenclature, and biogeographic distribution of the Tunisian polychaetes.
