Demersal fish species assemblages and relative abundance data collected from R/V Apalachee cruise AP-1515 in the DeSoto Canyon from 2015-09-29 to 2015-09-30 (NCEI Accession 0173472)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: May 06, 2026 at 02:14 AM | Dataset Last Updated: June 06, 2018 at 12:00 AM
This dataset contains fish data collected using fish traps and demersal longlines and includes biological data, for some species, such as length and weights. Additional data include the dates, set locations (latitudes, longitudes), depth, water temperature, gear deployed and bait used. These data were collected during the R/V Apalachee cruise AP-1515 from September 29 to September 30, 2015. The objectives of this project included to describe and examine differences in species assemblage and relative abundance of demersal fishes in the Gulf of Mexico.
