Number of unique amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) for each metazoan taxon found by metabarcoding in the two sampling locations, South and Hangar Coves in the Antarctic Peninsula. ASVs were retrieved using 18S rRNA gene region with blast matches higher than 95% sequence similarity against the SILVA database. Minor taxon 1 = Rotifera, Scalidophora, Xenacoelomorpha, Nemertea and Acanthocephala. Minor taxon 2 = Gnathostomulida, Hemichordata and Hydrozoa
