Two separate monitoring surveys were completed during JARE-61 (December 2019 to March 2020). The icebreaker Shirase has a fixed schedule and route, traveling down longitude 110ºE each December and returning along 150ºE each March. Data collected on these fixed schedule seems to be ideal for long-term monitoring work in this region. We present data from its 2019/2020 voyage. In additions, separate samplings were carried out on board the T/V Umitaka-maru along 110ºE longitude in January 2020. This report provides the latest zooplankton data. These transect data can be used as time series and/or seasonal sets over the last 45 years.Polar Data Journal569792021-04National Institute of Polar Research2432-6771https://doi.org/10.17592/001.2021012601publisherhttps://pdr.repo.nii.ac.jp/?action=repository_action_common_download&item_id=42&item_no=1&attribute_id=22&file_no=1CC BYhttps://pdr.repo.nii.ac.jp/?action=repository_action_common_download&item_id=42&item_no=1&attribute_id=22&file_no=2Ⓒ 2021 National Institute of Polar Researchhttps://pdr.repo.nii.ac.jp/?action=repository_action_common_download&item_id=42&item_no=1&attribute_id=22&file_no=3Ⓒ 2021 National Institute of Polar ResearchMarine biology2021-04-15
