The survey data were obtained from a beam trawl survey targeting benthic fishes, crustaceans, and cephalopods conducted in August 2024 by the R/V New Ocean Researcher III. All samples were collected using a beam trawl with a width of 6 m, a body length of 8 m, a body mesh size of 4.5 cm, and a cod-end mesh size of 2.5 cm. Each trawling operation was carried out at a towing speed of approximately 1.5 knots for 30 minutes. All sampling stations were located in the Penghu Channel, Taiwan. The collected specimens were sorted and identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level in the laboratory.
