Longline trap data collected during R/V Apalachee cruise AP-1307 in the DeSoto Canyon from 2013-07-18 to 2013-08-04 (NCEI Accession 0171495)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 03:06 AM | Dataset Last Updated: April 05, 2018 at 12:00 AM
This dataset reports species caught using longline and trap sets during R/V Apalachee cruise in the DeSoto Canyon from July 18 to August 4, 2013. Species data includes species name, sex, weight, length, and maturity state, if available. It also reports if samples were collected from individuals for other analysis, though the results of those analysis are not reported. Information about the longlines set includes bait used, gear, effort, and sea state. Additional files in the dataset report pressure and temperature data collected during longline trapping activities. The overall objectives of this research include using large chevron traps and demersal longlines to describe and examine differences in the species assemblages and relative abundances of demersal fishes associated with the eastern and western walls of DeSoto Canyon and the adjacent continental slope (75-2000 m deep), and collecting specimens and samples (including curation of new species) to aid in resolving phylogenetic uncertainties and understanding life history traits in collected taxa.
