Description

We compiled the most comprehensive data set of phytoplankton and other marine protists in terms of sizes, shapes, genus, and species names. Samples were obtained from seven globally distributed marine areas: Baltic Sea, North Atlantic (Scotland), Mediterranean Sea (Greece and Turkey), Indo-Pacific (the Maldives), South-western Pacific (Australia), Southern Atlantic (Brazil).

If you need to calculate surface area and volume, you can use MATLAB and Phyton scripts from: https://github.com/AlexRyabov/Cell-shape

Ask alexey.ryabov@uol.de, if you need a Julia or R script for that.
