The data set compiles counts of pelagic copepods species collected by vertically stratified hauls with an electronic Multinet Hydrobios (200 μm and 0.25 m-2) in five depth layers (0-100, 100 - 200, 200 - 400, 400 - 600 and 600 - 800 m). Copepods were sorted, identified and counted under microscopes stereoscope and compound. The identification of species was based on specialized bibliography and databases (Nishida, 1985; Campos-Hernandez and Suarez-Morales, 1994; Bradford-Grieve et al., 1999; Boxshall and Hasley, 2004; Razouls et al., 2005-2019).
