All species were identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level and counted. A wet weight estimate of total biomass (+ grams) was attained for each species using portable spring scales. Finfish collected in 2010 were measured for length (standard, fork, and/or total as appropriate). The trawls were part of a larger project that also included longline surveys to compare fish community structure in coastal Alabama and Mississippi before and after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on April 20, 2010. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0117516 Preview graphic PNG 0117516 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2014-04-15 publication FISH BIOMASS FISH SPECIES INDIVIDUAL FISH EXAMINATION INDIVIDUAL FISH EXAMINATION - LENGTH INDIVIDUAL IDENTITY INVERTEBRATE SPECIES SALINITY SPECIES IDENTIFICATION SPECIES IDENTIFICATION - COUNT SPECIES IDENTIFICATION - ORGANISM LENGTH SPECIES IDENTIFICATION - WET WEIGHT TAXONOMIC CODE WATER TEMPERATURE WEATHER theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS bucket scale trawl instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS biological chemical fish examination laboratory analyses physical survey - biological trawl theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS Dauphin Island Sea Lab dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Dauphin Island Sea Lab dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Deepwater Horizon oil spill event (DWH) project NODC PROJECT NAMES THESAURUS Coastal Waters of Alabama Coastal Waters of Gulf of Mexico Coastal Waters of Mississippi Gulf of Mexico North Atlantic Ocean place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NODC > National Oceanographic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 24 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian bucket bucket bucket scale scale An instrument for measuring mass or weight. trawl trawl A fishing net that is dragged behind a boat. A wide range of demersal (bottom) or pelagic (mid-water) species of fish are taken by this fishing method which entails one or a pair of vessels towing a large bag-shaped net either along the seafloor or in mid-water.
