Summary

This dataset provides raw microplastic count data from scanning electron microscopy of deep-sea amphipods, supporting research on plastic ingestion by organisms in the deepest ocean trenches on Earth. The data document that microplastic contamination reaches organisms in the most remote and deepest marine environments.
