Species composition (determined to the lowest possible taxonomic level), length, mass, sex, and sulfur content are also included in this dataset. Data are in spreadsheet format. Bulk sulfur stable isotope data can be used as indicators of energy sources and residence. This dataset evaluates the degree of residence of on- and off-marsh fish assemblages between natural and restored marshes to determine the quality of restored habitat and across a salinity gradient. Little is known about how river diversions influence the ecological trajectory, food web structure, and function of natural versus created marshes. To address this gap, this project established sites in the West Point a la Hache (WPH) area (Barataria Bay, in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana), near the WPH siphon which periodically shunts Mississippi River water into the local marshes. Sites were also established in nearby marshes that were restored as part of the Lake Hermitage (LH) Marsh Creation Project, representing an ideal model system to examine how seasonal and spatial shifts in salinity due to river diversions influence species composition and food web structure in both natural and different-aged created marshes. Objectives of the overall project included characterizing species compositions and abundances in multiple trophic levels (microbes to upper trophic level predators) and applying bulk (SIA) and compound-specific stable isotope analysis (CSIA) of amino acids (AA) in producer and consumer tissues to describe and compare the structure and complexity of food webs and reveal aspects of fish residency. Only bulk sulfur stable isotope related data are included in this dataset. The data in this accession were funded by the NOAA RESTORE Science Program under award NA17NOS4510091 to Louisiana State University. 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:0302625 Preview graphic PNG 0302625 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2025-03-04 publication ANIMALS - INDIVIDUAL - MASS FISHERY SURVEY - GEAR TYPE - GENERAL INDIVIDUAL FISH EXAMINATION - LENGTH INDIVIDUAL FISH EXAMINATION - SEX lipids Sulfur (S) theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS mass spectrometer trap trawl instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS in situ laboratory analyses theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS Louisiana State University Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium Michigan Technological University NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science NOAA RESTORE Science Program Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey University of California - Santa Cruz University of Florida University of Tennessee dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Coastal Waters of Gulf of America Coastal Waters of Gulf of Mexico Coastal Waters of Louisiana Gulf of America Gulf of Mexico place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/NOS/NCCOS > National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, National Ocean Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 23 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.
