This dataset is a component of the PAN-Arctic data collection of benthic BIOtas (PANABIO) and has been collated during the Census of Marine Life project Arctic Ocean Diversity (ArcOD; http://www.arcodiv.org/). It contains a total of 1,132 presence records of 197 macrobenthic peracarid species (Crustacea: Peracarida) identified in 20 epibenthic sledge catches taken at 20 stations located in western Fram Strait off NE Greenland at water depths of 45–490 m during two cruises in 1993. The dataset is also available in a PostgreSQL-based data warehouse that can be accessed and queried through an open-access frontend web service at https://critterbase.awi.de/panabio.
